Timeless Elegance A square plate made for Japanese cuisine, with a somewhat nostalgic atmosphere. The chrysanthemum pattern that lines the edges of the picture frame is wonderful. The gleaming gold color is the focal point. This product was made around the 1990s, and due to technical issues, it is no longer possible to make it, so it was kept as a dead stock item. It has an attractive and classy appearance that has not changed over the years. Restaurant-quality presentation Just arrange the sashimi platter you bought and it's like a kaiseki meal! It's also perfect for dishes that everyone can share, such as tempura and sushi. It is also great for entertaining, New Year's Day, and other celebrations. Please feel free to use it and have fun.
