Japanese Shigaraki Katakuchi Ceramic Matcha Bowl

Meet our Japanese Kohiki Katakuchi Ceramic Matcha Bowl, handcrafted in Shiga Prefecture in Japan. Kohiki refers to an iron-rich clay body covered over with white slip and then a transluscent glaze. In Japan, the Kohiki style started with Korean potters and appealed greatly to the busho chajin or warrior-tea men of the late 1500s.

"Katakuchi" (片口) in Japanese literally translates to "one-sided mouth" or "mouth on one side". It refers to a type of spouted bowl or vessel traditionally used for serving sake and other liquids. The spout allows for easy pouring. This Katakuchi bowl is perfect for whisking matcha in and serving into smaller bowls and cups.

Each Katakuchi bowl is packaged beautifully in a cardboard box, thus perfect for gifting.
