Key points of this table setting

1. A Tablescape Rich in Seasonal Charm

The table perfectly captures the vibe of autumn, blending fall-colored tableware with a menu that embraces the season’s earthy tones. With a variety of textures and shapes, everything comes together in a way that feels natural and relaxed. Even the small maple leaf chopstick rest ties it all back to the spirit of fall, making the whole spread cozy and inviting.

The deep red Yamanaka lacquerware bento box, filled with colorful chirashi, adds a pop of color against the more muted tones of the table. Salmon and ikura, or salmon roe, are accented with julienned shiso leaves, perfectly topping our boxed sushi.

An individual serving comes together seamlessly on this Hibino Ash Glaze footed round plate, offering the perfect canvas for a well-curated selection of seasonal appetizers. The plate's gentle elevation lets each dish stand out, including the freshly steamed chawanmushi, creating a presentation that's both cohesive and inviting.

With the golden Arita plate, the natural beauty of a sliced fig and plump Shine Muscats takes center stage, turning a simple selection into a standout display. A bit of golden glow complements the subtle hues on the table.

2. Steam and Serve: Chawanmushi Bowls Crafted for Perfection

A perfectly steamed egg custard wouldn’t be complete without the right chawanmushi cup. Our Musubi Mono series, crafted by Tasei Kiln, combines thoughtful design with traditional Japanese motifs to let you enjoy the beauty of each season with every bite. 

A perfectly crafted lid locks in the warmth and flavor of freshly steamed chawanmushi. The golden chrysanthemums, symbols of autumn, on this bowl are hand-painted with care, their vibrant petals standing out against the rich green background. 

This fall-inspired table setting beautifully combines the warmth of the season with carefully selected tableware. Each piece, from the vibrant lacquerware to the artfully crafted chawanmushi bowls, creates a dining experience that celebrates the essence of autumn.
