It is part of Japanese culture to serve big meals during celebrations like Japanese New Years “oshogatsu” (お正月) using large pieces of tableware such as this one! Families and friends gather around the table to share food, tell stories and play games together during these festive times. There’s an irreplaceable feeling of closeness to your loved ones when eating from a shared dish.
Embellished with brightly colored tsubaki flowers, this is a must-have for those looking for traditional yet timeless tableware to add to their collection. It’s a good size to serve the whole family! It also is absolutely perfect as a dining table centerpiece for fruits, candles, plants or flowers!
An idea to try in the summer months is Japanese cold noodles “soumen” (素麺) - simply fill up this big bowl with a ton of ice cubes and put the cooked noodles on top to cool. Dip the noods in umami-packed mentsuyu (麺つゆ) for an easy, breezy meal to beat the summer heat!
