Ash Glaze Long Rectangle Platter

This collection showcases platters perfect for placing in the center of the table for shared meals. Whether presenting main dishes or ingredients for a hand-rolled sushi party, these versatile pieces are ideal for any gathering.

The Mino ware main plate looks like a real wooden board, but it is made of porcelain. Easy to handle and long-lasting. The matte texture and uneven grain of the wood give it a natural look and feel.  The same goes for Yamanaka lacquer chopsticks in black. Kutani soy sauce dish and chopstick rest add a vibrant color to the table setting.  

In Japan, the unassuming dish takes on a life of its own, transcending its basic role of merely holding food to become an essential part of the culinary experience. Known in Japanese as sara, these are not just any plates; they are blank canvases for culinary artistry, crafted with as much precision and historical significance as the dishes they support. By carefully selecting a sara that complements each dish, a synergistic effect is created that elevates both the food and the plate.

From the delicately designed Arita porcelain to the durable functionality of Tobe ware, the world of Japanese plates offers a rich tapestry of options. Each one carries its own unique history and aesthetic value. It's not merely about shape or material; it's also about the stories these plates tell and the essence of Japanese culture that is infused in every crafted piece.
