Inoue Tea Kabura Chawan

Mino-yaki is a traditional style of Japanese ceramics originating from the Gifu Prefecture, with a history spanning over 1,400 years. It is highly regarded for its artisanal quality, durability, and the unique, earthy character that develops in each piece over time.

Yes, the 16oz capacity is generous and well-suited for traditional matcha preparation. It provides ample room to whisk your tea vigorously without splashing, while still being comfortable to hold in your hands.

To preserve the integrity of the ash-grey glaze and the natural texture, we recommend handwashing this bowl with mild soap. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and abrasive detergents can damage the artisanal finish over time.

While the surface has a tactile, textured finish, it is designed for daily use and is not difficult to clean. Simply rinse the bowl with warm water immediately after use to prevent tea residue from settling into the texture.

The bowl is designed with ergonomic proportions specifically for matcha preparation. Its size and shape are balanced to sit securely in one hand while you whisk with the other, providing a stable and comfortable experience.
