Muji Mino Ware Noodle Bowl

No. Because these bowls are handcrafted in the Mino region, the firing process creates natural variations in glaze and color. You should expect your bowl to have its own distinct character, which is part of the charm of authentic Mino ware.

While the porcelain is durable, the product is not rated for oven or open flame use. We recommend hand washing to preserve the glaze and finish, though standard microwave use is generally acceptable for porcelain of this type.

With a 38.8 fl oz capacity and a 7.4-inch diameter, this bowl is perfectly sized for a standard serving of ramen, udon, or pho. The elevated base also helps keep the exterior cooler, making it easier to hold while you eat.

To maintain the integrity of the porcelain, avoid thermal shock by not placing it directly over an open flame or in an oven. After washing, ensure you wipe it completely dry before storing it to prevent any moisture buildup.

Not at all. The base is designed specifically to provide stability while elevating the bowl, which serves the dual purpose of keeping the bottom cool to the touch and presenting your food more elegantly.
