Most Rice Bowls Are Too Small and Too Plain
A standard rice bowl holds about 12 ounces, which is fine as a side dish and useless as dinner. These hold 25 ounces, which is the difference between rice next to your meal and a bowl that is the meal: donburi, chashu, fried rice, bibimbap, ramen, pho or curry over rice.
Black Outside, Green Inside
The exterior is matte black. The well is glossy deep green. That contrast is the point, because it does what a white bowl cannot: egg, scallion, carrot and pork all read brighter against colour, and the matte outer surface hides the fingerprints and water spotting that show instantly on gloss.
Six Pieces, Two Places Set
Two bowls, two green ceramic spoons and two pairs of dark chopsticks arrive in one box. Nothing is missing and nothing needs adding, which is what makes it work as a housewarming or wedding gift as easily as a Tuesday dinner for two.
Two Details You Only Notice While Eating
The rim is wide enough to rest both chopsticks across the bowl between bites, so they never touch the tablecloth. And the spoon handle is pierced, so it hangs from a hook or rail instead of rolling across the counter.
Roll Formed Stoneware
The bowls are roller shaped rather than slip cast, which is why wall thickness and depth stay consistent from one piece to the next. Both are finished with a food grade, eco friendly glaze inside and out.
Where They Get Used
Rice, donburi, chashu, fried rice, bibimbap, ramen, pho, udon, congee, curry, chilli, stew, salad, cereal and ice cream. Everyday dinners for two, small kitchens where one bowl does several jobs, and dinner parties alongside a larger set.
