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.

Ramen Bowls
Ramen bowls, unlike other Japanese tableware, are usually not lifted while eating. They tend to be crafted from heavier ceramics and feature simple, neutral colors that complement any type of ramen. While the donburi bowl is versatile and used for a variety of Japanese dishes, the ramen bowl is a noodle bowl with a character of its own, deeper and sturdier to hold hot broth and generous toppings.
If you're planning to make ramen at home, we highly recommend adding one to your kitchen. Even a basic serving topped with chopped green onions, boiled eggs, and nori (seaweed) can be elevated to an authentic ramen experience, just like what you’d enjoy at a Japanese restaurant.
Black
Black conveys a sense of sophistication, formality, and stylishness. In Japan, this is reflected in the use of kuro, a deep black color traditionally worn by priests and monks during ceremonies. Kuro not only symbolizes sanctity and solemnity but also projects an air of quiet elegance.
Black tableware's deep, rich tones and matte or glossy finishes bring a bold and elegant touch to any setting, elevating table design with a modern, sleek allure and fostering an ambiance of depth and a sense of ritual.
