This wide-mouthed noodle bowl features a rich, aizome-indigo inset pattern inspired by sashiko stitching techniques across the outer, matched with a similar trim around the mouth of the bowl, and the base features a rich, russet trim at the base, both offsetting the bowl from a table setting and protecting the porcelein surface. This size is a noodle bowl, best suited for ramen, udon or soba. Being dishwasher and microwave safe, these are durable and easy to care for. Designed and made in Japan.
