Why this bundle

Two pieces from two of Japan's most prolific pottery towns: a Mino-yaki rice bowl and a five-cup Hasami-yaki tea set. Together they cover everyday Japanese table setting — rice, tea, and any small side dish.

Mino-yaki (from Gifu prefecture) accounts for around half of all Japanese tableware produced; the technique is over 1,300 years old and the kilns specialize in functional, lightweight, daily-use pieces. The bowl is hand-glazed in indigo with a stylized nut pattern. Hasami-yaki (from Nagasaki) is the porcelain counterpart — durable, dishwasher-safe, and made for restaurants where breakage is a daily reality. The five-cup set means tea for the household plus a guest.

This isn't a matcha kit; it's daily tea ware. For matcha, you'd need a chawan (wide bowl) and chasen (bamboo whisk). For sencha, hojicha, mugicha, or any everyday tea — this is the set.

Who it's for

For households that have been drinking tea out of mugs and are ready to upgrade. Also for anyone setting up a small kitchen — apartment dwellers, first-time renters, students moving out. Five cups is enough for hosting; the rice bowl is solo-meal sized.

Frequently asked

Are these dishwasher and microwave safe?
Yes — both Mino and Hasami porcelain are commercial-grade. The cups have no metallic accents, so microwave reheating tea is fine. We still recommend hand-washing fine porcelain to extend lifespan, but the dishwasher will not damage it.
Are the five tea cups identical?
Yes — same indigo pattern across the five-cup Hasami set, designed to match as a household set. The Mino bowl has its own complementary indigo glaze.
How big are the cups?
The Hasami cups hold about 90ml each — Japanese tea-cup standard, smaller than a Western tea mug. They are meant for multiple short refills during a meal, not a single 12oz cup of breakfast tea.
Can I use these for matcha?
Not ideally — matcha needs a wide chawan to whisk in. These cups are too narrow for a proper whisk motion. For sencha, hojicha, genmaicha, or any everyday tea, they are perfect.
What is the difference between Mino-yaki and Hasami-yaki?
Mino is thicker, often hand-glazed pottery with more visible texture. Hasami is finer porcelain — thinner walls, smoother finish, generally more durable. Most Japanese homes own both.
