AKAAKA Mino-yaki Matcha Bowl

Mino-yaki, originating in Japan’s historic Mino Province (now Gifu Prefecture), traces its roots to Seto-yaki - one of the country’s Six Ancient Kilns. Its journey began in the 1500s when pottery techniques from Seto were introduced to the region. Over the centuries, Mino-yaki grew into a hub of creativity, giving rise to iconic styles like Shino and Setoguro, and establishing itself as one of Japan’s most prolific and diverse pottery traditions.

This chawan is in half-cylindrical shape,

meaning it has a half-cylindrical shape with straight sides and a flat bottom. Its vertical walls are thoughtfully crafted to contain matcha during whisking, helping to minimise spills and ensure a smooth preparation.

Variations in size, glaze, colour, and texture are natural characteristics that highlight the unique, handcrafted nature of each piece.
