31 Katakuchi Spouted Bowl (mocha)

This spouted bowl can be used as a "chakai" (tea server) for Chinese tea, allowing you to equalize the tea's strength before pouring it into cups, or as a "yumamashi" (water cooler) for Japanese tea.
Of course, it would also be great as a sake vessel, or for serving sauces and dressings at the table.

Diameter: Approx. 11.3cm / Height: Approx. 6.5cm

As these are artisan pieces, there will be individual differences in glaze, color, and size.

[Care Instructions]
Because this stoneware is absorbent, its appearance will change with exposure to moisture and oil from food. Since it is prone to staining, we recommend avoiding deeply colored dishes until the entire surface has absorbed oil. The more you use it, the more character it develops, so we hope you enjoy its transformation. If you are concerned, try soaking it in water for about 10 minutes before use. This will help prevent staining and odors to a certain extent, allowing it to slowly develop its unique character.
