Kanayama Yukiguni White x Matte Brown Rice Bowl Chawan 12 fl oz / 4.9" dia

"Yukiguni" (Snow Country) by Tsugaru Kanayama-yaki is a ceramic series characterized by a smooth, snow-white texture, achieved with a white glaze made from rice-straw ash from Aomori Prefecture.
While Kanayama-yaki typically employs the *yakishime* (unglazed, high-fired) technique, the "Yukiguni" series incorporates this rice-straw ash glaze, creating a beautiful contrast between the soft white finish and the earthy texture characteristic of *yakishime* ware.

This size bowl is perfect for serving rice alongside miso soup, but it also works well for appetizers, hearty soup, or desserts.

Kanayama Pottery

Tsugaru Kanayama pottery is made from high-quality resources found at a local reservoir. These pieces of pottery are made using the "Yakishime Method", a technique in which unglazed pottery is faced directly into a fire fueled by local Japanese Red Pine Wood. The pottery is brought to a high temperature of 2462°F, creating a natural and unique pattern on the surface for each piece of pottery.
