Kobachi Small Bowls
Kobachi, literally “small bowls” in Japanese, are designed for serving appetizers and side dishes. Deeper than a small plate but smaller than a main course or ramen bowl, kobachi are just the right size for light stews and simmered vegetables. Incorporating one or several kobachi bowls into a table setting and arranging dishes of different sizes and colors lends your meal an authentic Japanese atmosphere.
This category includes bowls with diameters under 12.9 cm (5.1 in).
Celebrating Cat Day: Cats in Japanese Crafts
Cats are cherished around the world for the comfort they bring, whether they are basking in the sun or soothing us with their unexpected gestures. Also a familiar presence in the world of craft, cats have long been expressed in various forms through the dedicated handwork of artisans.
In celebration of "Cat Day" on February 22 in Japan, we have curated a collection featuring cat-themed plates, mugs, and lucky cat figurines. These tableware pieces add a playfulness to the dining table, while traditional maneki neko bring a sense of auspicious warmth to your living space.
