A nostalgic appearance A uniquely shaped small bowl made for Japanese cuisine. The round silhouette and plump, thick edges are very charming. The delicate red painting and glittering gold color are the highlights. 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 It goes well with stews such as Wakatake-ni and Chikuzen-ni. Perfect for thick braised meat or fried tofu! It can be used not only for everyday use, but also for entertaining and celebratory occasions. Please feel free to use it and have fun.
