Mino Ware Matcha Bowl – Cherry Blossom Motif (Chawan)

A matcha bowl (chawan) is an essential utensil in preparing and enjoying Japanese matcha tea.
Its wide and rounded shape allows for smooth whisking with a bamboo whisk (chasen), helping create the fine foam that is characteristic of properly prepared matcha.

Matcha bowls are valued not only for their function but also for their artistry. Each bowl reflects the aesthetics of Japanese ceramics—balancing beauty, form, and practicality. Sizes, shapes, and glazes vary, offering unique textures and seasonal expressions.

 Wide opening: Ensures the whisk moves freely to aerate the tea.

 Comfortable depth: Keeps the matcha warm while fitting naturally in the hands.

 Artistic character: Each piece is unique, often handcrafted by skilled artisans.

Whether for everyday tea enjoyment or as part of a traditional tea ceremony, the chawan embodies the harmony of nature, craft, and hospitality in Japanese tea culture.
