Shigara Donburi Bowl M

This regular-sized donburi bowl stands out with its rustic deep brown color, accented by soft yellow speckles along the inner rim. Shaped using a potter’s wheel, this piece has a pleasant weight and warmth to the touch that make it a pleasure to hold in one’s hands. The slightly textured surface offers a secure grip. 

The bowl is perfect for a variety of donburi dishes, such as gyudon, oyakodon, and for noodle dishes like udon or soba. It may be slightly small for ramen if you wish to add different toppings. With its wide rim, it’s also suitable for serving, salads, and side dishes. It’s perfect for sunomono, light salads seasoned with rice vinegar, and Japanese-style stewed vegetables. 

Crafted in the Tono region of Gifu Prefecture, Mino ware is celebrated for its rich heritage and versatility within Japanese dinnerware.

A defining feature of Mino ware is its remarkable variety. Unlike many other Japanese pottery that adheres to a singular style, Mino ware boasts more than fifteen different styles, each with its unique charm developed over centuries. This region now accounts for over fifty percent of Japan's ceramic production, highlighting its unrivaled popularity.

In recognition of its cultural significance, Mino ware was designated as a traditional craft in 1978 by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (now the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry). Mino ware continues to enchant with its blend of historical depth and contemporary relevance, truly embodying a high standard of craftsmanship.
