Soba Choko Cups
Soba choko cups are primarily designed to hold dipping broth accompanying soba, but they are also used for drinking tea and sake. Soba choko on the larger side are similar in size to yunomi cups, making them just right for casual tea drinking, while those on the smaller side are closer to guinomi cups, perfect for elegant sips of sake.
Regardless of how you use them, the versatility and charm of a soba choko make them a stylish and convenient addition to any table.
Green
Green tableware, embodying tranquility, hope, and vitality, captures the essence of all seasons, from spring's fresh hues to winter's deep tones, enhancing dining with a feel of renewal and relaxation.
Over centuries, Japan has seamlessly blended this shade into its cultural tapestry. Since the Heian period (794 CE - 1158 CE), the vibrant wakakusa iro, a radiant yellow-green color, has been celebrated, capturing the essence of young grass in early spring.
Jubako bento box in a refreshing spring grass green brings the vernal ambiance to the table. You also can find bowls and plates adorned with leaf designs in different shades of green, and Edo Kiriko Rocks Glasses with their shimmering emerald beauty.
