(August 2023) Somewhere new, the craftsmanship shines through A 5-inch plate with an impressive "Hakeme" pattern that has been around for a long time but has a somewhat modern feel. Images are for illustrative purposes only. Contrary to its impressive appearance, it quickly becomes a supporting role when served with food! A fascinating hakeme pattern that mysteriously matches a wide range of cuisines such as Japanese, Western, Chinese, and ethnic. It has a moderate weight and sense of stability, is durable, and is easy to use, so it will become an indispensable part of your daily dining table. [A] has a snake's eye pattern on the prospective part, and [B] has no snake's eye pattern. The snake's eye pattern is a "ring" that can be seen on the prospective part. The traditional climbing kilns are used to fire pottery, which has patterns like this because they are fired in layers. Please enjoy this as a unique expression that can only be achieved by hand. For snack plates and serving plates The versatile 5-inch plate is a size that is often used throughout the day. Add grated radish to the rolled egg. It looks delicious even if you put two or three fresh spring rolls side by side. The edges are slightly raised, so you don't have to worry about it even if it's a little juicy. Pairing it with light snacks such as rolls and rice balls, or adding Japanese sweets or cream puffs for snack time can be very picturesque. It's easy to pick up and can be stacked, so it's a good idea to have multiple pieces available as serving plates.
