Traditional Patterned Ramen Spoon with Spoon Rest

This renge ramen spoon and spoon rest set brings a grounded, functional beauty to the table. Entirely hand-painted, the indigo and red patterns stand out against the warm white porcelain, offering a timeless look that feels both traditional and modern.

Each piece is adorned with a classic Japanese motif:
Shepherd’s Purse – A delicate design inspired by the shepherd’s purse, a plant with tiny, four-petaled flowers and heart-shaped seedpods. In Japan, it is an auspicious symbol believed to ward off evil spirits.

Red Sun – A sun-like motif rendered entirely in rich red, simple in form yet bold in presence. 

Tokusa and Three-Crest – Vertical stripes inspired by tokusa (the horsetail plant), an emblem of growth, are paired with bright red triple crests. The combination feels deeply rooted in tradition while retaining a distinctly modern sensibility.

This set is designed for the rigors of daily use, featuring a signature gentle thickness that feels balanced in the hand. Crafted by Baizan Kiln in the Tobe ware tradition, these pieces are made to be used and cherished for years, making them a reliable staple for any ramen or udon lover.

Baizan Kiln

Baizan Kiln, the oldest existing kiln in Tobe City, Ehime Prefecture, Japan, is cherished for its creations featuring simple yet dynamic brushstrokes and a sturdy, robust form. Its warm white porcelain pieces are adorned with deep indigo and colorful patterns, and their thick, solid shapes evoke a sense of unpretentious, wholesome beauty. In 1976, Baizan Kiln was officially recognized as a traditional craft maker by the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry.

Tobe Ware

Tobe ware is porcelain produced in the Tobe region of Ehime Prefecture, located in the northwest of Shikoku Island. The white porcelain, with its beautiful, slightly bluish hue from the iron content, continues to be highly valued and loved. Tobe ware maintains a strong respect for traditional handicraft techniques, even amidst modernization.
