Colored Round Side Plate

This side plate is beautifully crafted by Odate Kogeisha, made from Akita cedar. Exceptionally lightweight, it exudes a calm and dignified beauty with its attractive color.

Japanese sweets and other delicacies can be showcased on the glossy surface of this plate. The urethane coating allows you to serve dishes directly on the plate without worries of staining, making it suitable for everyday use as well as for entertaining guests. It can be washed with mild dishwashing detergent after use, making it easy to care for.

The plate comes in two colors of an auspicious red and a chic deep purple. The red adds a classic and festive flair to a setting, and can be used for traditional Japanese sweets when enjoying matcha. The purple creates a modern and sharp contrast with the cedar rim. The dark-colored surface shows the alluring reflection of the dish served on the plate.
