Oriental Artisan Imari Series Ramen Bowl

Mino Ware is a traditional Japanese ceramic style originating from the Gifu Prefecture, known for its long history and high-quality craftsmanship. These pieces are fired at specific temperatures to ensure durability while maintaining the delicate, artistic finish characteristic of authentic Japanese pottery.

While the ceramic material is durable, the intricate Imari-style decorations, particularly those featuring gold accents, are best preserved by hand washing. We recommend avoiding the microwave to protect the integrity of the vibrant colors and metallic detailing over time.

The 5.5-inch bowl is ideal for smaller portions or side dishes, while the 6.5-inch size works well for standard noodle servings. For a traditional, restaurant-style ramen experience with plenty of broth and toppings, the 7.5-inch or 7.8-inch options are recommended.

Because each bowl is individually handcrafted by artisans in Mino Province, slight variations in pattern placement and color intensity are expected. These unique characteristics are part of the charm of authentic Mino Ware and ensure that your piece is one-of-a-kind.

These bowls are crafted to have a substantial, high-quality feel that reflects their artisanal origins. They are sturdy enough for daily use but designed with the refined elegance expected of traditional Japanese tableware.
