It is a wooden bowl made by Japanese craftsmen using only wood cut in the winter of that year. Not only does it have a beautiful shape, wood grain, and texture, but it also enhances the taste of everyday home-cooked meals and is extremely easy to use. It is a masterpiece that won the Good Design Award in 1996 and is one of our long-selling items. This chestnut has been deeply involved in Japanese life since ancient times. It is heavy, hard, sticky, and water-resistant, so it has played a role as the foundation of the house, supporting it from under the eaves, and as a thick, sturdy beam or pillar that can be seen in old houses. Its cream color, like the simple and cheerful chestnut, gives it a very gentle impression. The logs are cut during hibernation when there is little moisture before the buds sprout in spring, and are sawn without any break. They are dried carefully before being processed. The wood grain is unique to natural wood and is smooth to the touch. The gently rounded shape fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, making it so comfortable you'll want to hold it in both hands forever. You can see that. It also has a shape that drains water well. Even if you put something warm in it, the outside doesn't get hot and it's easy to hold, which is unique to wood. It is thicker towards the bottom and is very sturdy. The edge curves slightly inward, making it easy to hold with your fingers and a gentle mouthfeel. The moderate height makes it stable to hold. As a basic tableware, it enhances the flavor of various dishes, both Japanese and Western, such as soup, salad, rice, and dessert plates. Since the color and grain vary depending on the part of the wood used, no two are the same, and you can enjoy the warmth and flavor unique to natural materials. It is also recommended as a gift for someone special.
