Happiness of finding the “just right” soup bowl The color of the lacquer gives this soup bowl an elegant impression. Images are for illustrative purposes only. The wood is lightly painted with a matte black finish, creating a tasteful atmosphere. The slightly visible wood grain gives it a really nice flavor. It is the true craftsmanship that makes this wood grain look so beautiful. It is made using a technique called "wipe lacquer," which involves repeatedly applying and wiping lacquer to allow the lacquer to soak into the wood. The chubby shape of the White Heron bowl fits comfortably in your hand, making it a great companion to your favorite bowls and plates. Healed by careful handwork A soup bowl for your morning miso soup. A cup of tea is an important source of energy for the day, so if possible, you want to pay attention to even the smallest details, such as the gentleness of the drink's texture and the way it feels when you wrap it in your hands. Wood not only doesn't get hot easily, but it also doesn't cool down easily, making it the perfect material for soup bowls! When you wrap your hands around a bowl of freshly made miso soup, you can feel the warmth coming through. Having a soup bowl that makes you feel relaxed just by holding it in your hand will enrich your daily life.

About the style and atmosphere White Heron bowls are made using a wood removal method called "Tategi," which brings out the beautiful grain of the wood. Each bowl is carefully handcrafted using domestic cherry wood and will give you a gentle feeling when you hold it in your hand. They come in different sizes, so they're great for parent and child use or as gifts. There are dark, light, and mixed colors in terms of color and wood grain, but this is also a texture unique to natural materials, so please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as no two pieces are exactly the same. Each piece is carefully made by craftsmen. 《Official website Image quote from 》 White Heron Woodworking Yamanaka Onsen in Ishikawa Prefecture.
