This tea bowl comes with a serving spout so that you can whisk matcha and then pour it out into other cups or mugs.

Size 5.1" × 5.1" × 3.5"
CapacityWhen full: 15 oz (450 mL)
When whisking: 5 oz (150 mL)
AccessoriesTea cloth (fukin)
OriginGifu Prefecture. Japan (Mino-yaki)

Note: You can also brew loose leaf Ippodo teas with this bowl as well. See the instructions below.

We worked with an artisan to design this bowl with fine details that make everyday matcha delightful.

Use this bowl with a spout to whisk up to 3 servings of matcha at once, and then pour into your favorite cups, mugs, and glasses. Handcrafted on a potter’s wheel, it has a deep, wide shape that makes whisking a large batch of matcha simple.

The white bowl has a soft appearance. Its light glaze shows the bowl’s texture clearly, and it pairs with any setting.

This bowl has a beautiful spiderweb-like crack pattern in the glaze that is almost invisible at first. Over time, the more you make matcha in the bowl, the more this pattern will emerge in a light amber color. The pattern is called kan’nyu, and for centuries tea lovers have praised it as a sign of a well-loved matcha bowl.

Gifu is a landlocked prefecture in the mountains in the central region of the main Japanese island. This prefecture is home to one of the most famous and storied traditions of pottery in all of Japan. Mino-yaki encompasses several distinct styles, each highly valued by the tea ceremony for centuries. The artisans producing our tea bowls in this region craft the clay for their works themselves by hand, from soil in the area.

Note: The tea cloth (fukin) is 100% cotton, so the color may fade or run when washed.
