Ceramic bowls and dishes are used at every meal in Japan and lend a degree of elegance and charm to the eating experience. The Japanese also believe that a beautiful bowl, or dish adds flavour to food and makes eating more of a pleasure.
Japanese rice bowls, 'Miso' soup bowls, noodle bowls, serving bowls and tea bowls make great gifts because all Japanese use them, so they're readily available and inexpensive. They often come in in wood gift boxes as nested sets, so just shop around and choose the ones that you like.
Japanese Ceramic Bowls
Japanese bowls are made from a variety of materials, like ceramics, wood and even plastic. However, porcelain bowls are the most popular and these are always at the centre of Japanese meals.
The Japanese like to eat rice as a staple and they'll often do so separately from the main course but if you like Italian food, just put some pesto, vegetables, or pasta into your bowl and no-one will take any notice.
Japanese Tea Ceremony
The Japanese 'Chawan' bowl is used to drink green tea called 'Matcha' in the Japanese tea ceremony. This probably originated centuries ago when the first tea bowls and tea were imported from China. However, Japanese tea bowls soon developed their own distinctive style and character.
Japanese bowls are versatile, elegant and suitable for every day use, so impress your friends and family by giving them meals with that authentic Japanese touch!
