A nostalgic appearance This elegant rectangular plate resembles the kind you'd find in a traditional Japanese restaurant. The undulating rim and vividly painted red floral motif are striking. The rim is delicately painted as well, giving the plate a beautiful appearance even when viewed from the side. This product was made in the 1990s and has been kept as deadstock due to technical reasons that make reproduction impossible. Its elegant appearance has remained timeless over the years, making it very appealing. A dish like something you'd find at a restaurant Serving salmon fillets with tamagoyaki (rolled omelet) and grated daikon radish instantly evokes the feeling of a traditional ryokan breakfast. The generous depth makes it perfect for serving simmered fish. It is also ideal for presenting small portions of cut fruit or baked sweets when entertaining important guests. The stackable design allows you to keep several on hand for family use or for guests.
