Inoue Tsuchi Clay Brown Mino-yaki Chawan - Japanese Matcha Bowl
A good bowl makes whisking matcha tea feel like a real ritual. Inoue's Tsuchi clay brown Mino-yaki chawan is a Japanese matcha bowl made from Gifu Prefecture clay. Its earthy brown glaze and generous shape suit a daily bowl of matcha green tea.
Why You'll Love This Inoue Matcha Bowl
- Rooted in Mino-yaki tradition: This chawan belongs to the Mino-yaki pottery tradition of Gifu Prefecture, a region long known for Japanese ceramics.
- Room to whisk: With a 500ml capacity, the bowl leaves plenty of space for a bamboo whisk to move freely. That helps you work up a smooth, frothy matcha without splashing over the rim.
- Comfortable in the hand: At 4.7 inches wide and 3 inches tall, it is easy to steady with one hand while you whisk with the other.
- Warm, earthy look: The natural brown Mino-yaki glaze sets off the bright green of freshly whisked matcha, so each bowl looks as good as it tastes.
- Clay that holds warmth: The clay body helps keep your matcha warm while you prepare and sip it.
- A thoughtful gift: This Japanese chawan makes a meaningful present for anyone building a matcha setup or exploring Japanese tea culture.
