Silver Drago Black Ramen Bowl M

This regular-sized Mino ware ramen bowl features a glossy black background with an elegant silver dragon painted on the sides and bottom. In Asian cultures, the dragon is an auspicious creature, symbolizing nobility and good fortune. Inside the bowl, the square spiral pattern, known as raimon in Japanese, is a traditional Chinese lightning design symbolizing the wonders of nature—a motif commonly found on Japanese ramen bowls.

It’s perfect for serving noodles, especially ramen. The deep black color of this bowl makes it perfect for serving the thick white soup of tonkotsu ramen, creating a striking contrast that enhances the dish's visual appeal.

Using this bowl to savor different kinds of noodles will undoubtedly add a touch of traditional charm to your dining experience. 

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.
