Description

This kobachi bowl features a delicate pattern of shepherd’s purse, a plant that becomes even more distinctive as its heart-shaped seed pods appear. Known as nazuna in Japanese, it’s considered an auspicious symbol believed to ward off evil spirits. The indigo design brings a modern touch while preserving the charm of hand-painted craftsmanship.

The size makes it perfect for serving side dishes like tangy sunomono or gently simmered nimono.

It also works beautifully for condiments or desserts. Place it on a larger plate or tuck it into a bento box for a more polished, well-curated presentation.

With its square rim and smoothly rounded body, the bowl offers a unique shape that’s both stylish and durable—ideal for everyday use or special occasions.

Small Kobachi & Appetizer Bowls

A kobachi, meaning "small bowl" in Japanese, is ideal for serving appetizers and side dishes. Deeper than a small plate yet much smaller than a donburi bowl, it’s the perfect size for light stews and simmered vegetables. Incorporating a kobachi into your table setting adds an authentic Japanese touch to your meal.
