The shape is crafted by a potter's wheel and you can feel the warmth and comfort of holding it in your hand. Not only drinking tea or coffee, it is also perfect for use in soups, yogurt, ice cream and many other dishes.
This cup is available in several patterns such as pigeon, cat, turtle, dragon, elephant, pig, and rabbit.

Maker / Brand
At Bizan Kiln, every piece is hand-painted by highly skilled artisans. The viscosity of the pigments, the choice of brushes, and the painting techniques are carefully adjusted for each design, ensuring that no two pieces are ever the same.
Layers of pigment are applied to achieve rich, three-dimensional surfaces, imbuing each piece with the warmth and vitality that only true handcraft can convey. The graceful balance of delicacy and boldness, expressed through vivid hues and confident brushwork, embodies the refined beauty that defines Kutani ware and lies at the heart of Bizan Kiln’s artistry.

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.
Cool Off With Shades of Blue
Bring Japanese hues into your space this summer with tableware and decor in shades of blue. Featuring minimalist geometric patterns, modern styles, and intricately painted designs, the items in this collection are sure to introduce a little extra zing to your late-summer table.
One of the most classic Japanese blues is cobalt: a rich, bold color that works as well as a statement piece as it does as a backdrop for food or a canvas for detail. You will often find cobalt blues contrasted with pure white, a timeless pairing known in Japanese as sometsuke. Another favorite is navy blue, a sophisticated color seen throughout Japanese art. Adding navy is a great way to ground a table. Last but not least is mizu-iro, literally “water blue,” a pale aqua that suggests the refreshing coolness of the ocean.
So, embrace the rich palette of blue and rejuvenate your final weeks of summer.
