Ash Glaze Footed Square Side Plate

Bring a feeling of quality to your table with our collection of Japanese side plates, expertly crafted by artisans from all across Japan. A key element of an authentic Japanese table setting, our selection of small plates is curated to fit any aesthetic, from cute and bright to classic and refined. These dishes show off appetizers, snacks, breads, sweets, and side dishes like tofu, salad, or even slices of fish with ease and style. 

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.
