This square tray with a removable bamboo strainer is used for serving cold soba noodles. Made by Yamanaka lacquerware and coated with brown lacquer, it can recreate the ambiance of an authentic soba restaurant.
The matte texture of the "Suri-Urushi" (wiped lacquer) finish enhances the beauty of the wood grain.
The bamboo strainer is made using bamboo from Japan, and is crafted by Miyabi Urushi, renowned maker for its woodwork. It effectively removes excess water from boiled soba, allowing for a beautifully presented dish.
Since the tray and bamboo strainer can be used separately, cleaning after use is also easy. The tray can also hold items like sake cups, teacups, and small plates. Additionally, you can use the bamboo strainer in combination with plates and trays you have at home.
