Wood‑grain Donburi Bowl S

This charming magewappa donburi bowl, crafted by Odate Kougeisha, is made from Akita cedar—one of Japan's most renowned woods. Its natural warmth and smooth, even grain give the bowl both a refined aesthetic and a timeless appeal.

Known for being lightweight and remarkably durable, this bowl offers exceptional resilience. The wood used in magewappa has a unique ability to regulate humidity—it absorbs moisture during humid summers and releases it during dry winters, ensuring the perfect balance for your dish year-round.

The bowl is perfect for a variety of donburi dishes, such as gyudon or oyakodon, and for noodle dishes like udon or soba. It may be slightly small for ramen if you wish to add different toppings.
