Black Tokusa Ramen Bowl S

This small-sized Japanese ramen bowl offers an appreciation for the depth of the color black. The inner rim features a chic, textured rendering of the traditional Japanese pattern called tokusa "horsetail." The simple yet powerful design will leave a lasting impression as part of your table setting.

The bowl is perfect for a variety of noodle dishes, such as udon or soba. It may be slightly small for ramen if you wish to add various toppings. With its wide rim, it’s also suitable for serving salads and side dishes such as sunomono, light salads seasoned with rice vinegar, and Japanese-style stewed vegetables.

Beloved since the Edo period (1603–1868 CE), this pattern of straight vertical lines is inspired by the Japanese plant tokusa, known in English as rough horsetail. It is regarded as a symbol of growth and prosperity, since it grows unwaveringly upwards.
