This sauce plate, featuring the iconic lucky cat on a vibrant red background, is perfect for everyday use or for celebrating special occasions such as New Year’s Day, birthdays, and housewarming parties.

In Japan, it was once believed that households with cats would prosper, as cats kept mice away from grains and crops. Today, the lucky cat (maneki-neko) is a well-known symbol of good fortune and wealth.

Perfectly sized as a sauce plate, it’s also versatile for serving cheese, nuts, condiments, and other small bites. For a more stylish and sophisticated presentation, you can serve small portions of food or relishes by placing it on a larger plate or inside a bento box.

We also have a sake cup with the same lucky cat design.
