Inoue Shinko Gray Polka Dot Mino-yaki Ido Chawan - Japanese Mini Matcha Bowl

• A celebrated chawan shape: The Ido style traces back to 16th-century Korean rice bowls that Japanese tea masters adopted for tea. Its proportions leave room for a steady whisking motion.
• Genuine Mino-yaki pottery: This chawan belongs to the Mino-yaki tradition of Gifu Prefecture, one of Japan's long-established ceramic regions. It is made with clay from that area.
• Modern character: Shinko Kiln gives the traditional form a contemporary look with a gray glaze dotted in a polka pattern, so it stands out on a tea tray or shelf.
• Personal size: With an 8-ounce capacity, this mini bowl suits a single serving of matcha. It also works for whisking a concentrated base to pour into a matcha latte.
• Thoughtful gift: For a friend starting a matcha routine or a collector of Japanese ceramics, this Inoue chawan makes a distinctive, useful present.
