Enjoy delicious chawanmushi, Japanese steamed egg custard, in this beautiful Arita ware chawanmushi bowl from our Musubi Mono series.

Painted with a straw pattern called mugiwarade, rendered here in several delicate colors creating a feeling that is both intriguing and subdued. Each brush stroke starts out with thick and tapers out at the end, which adds a subtle interest to this otherwise simple pattern. 

The shape of the bowl is inspired by an ohitsu, a traditional rice container similar to a bucket. With its simple form and straight lines, this piece has a slightly larger capacity compared to the other chawanmushi bowls from this series.

Versatile in size and shape, this piece can also hold other steamed dishes, soups and desserts.

Crafted exclusively for the Musubi Mono series, this chawanmushi cup by Tasei Kiln of Arita Town, Saga Prefecture, blends functionality with designs inspired by Japan's natural beauty and traditional motifs. Since 1956, Tasei Kiln has strived to master the art of chawanmushi cups. Trusted by professionals, their bowls can now be part of your Japanese tableware collection to prepare your favorite chawanmushi recipe.

"Musubi Mono" combines the Japanese word "mono," for "thing," with the English prefix "mono," meaning "only," emphasizing the uniqueness of every item. Featuring authentic tableware meticulously crafted by skilled Japanese artisans, each piece is thoughtfully selected by MUSUBI KILN staff members under the guidance of our table designer.
