Japanese Porcelain, White Chrysanthemum Bean Dish, 75x35mm
75 x 35mm: a white porcelain dish shaped like a chrysanthemum, a small classic for soy, pickles and sweets.
Pre-order: arriving in the UK in early November 2026
This porcelain bean dish is 75mm across and 35mm high, with a petal-edged rim in the shape of a chrysanthemum. Its white body is a clean background for dark sauces and bright garnishes alike, and at this size it takes a little more than a dipping saucer.
Why Chefs Choose This
- A clean white canvas: soy, wasabi and pickles look sharp on it
- Petal rim: the fluted edge adds detail with no pattern
- Deeper than a saucer: 35mm holds a small portion as well as a sauce
- Goes with anything: white porcelain sits with any other tableware
How to Use
- Soy and wasabi: a personal sauce dish for sushi and sashimi
- Pickles: a few slices of takuan or umeboshi
- Sweets: wagashi, chocolates or candied fruit with tea
- Condiments: sesame, salt or chilli for the table
Mamezara (豆皿), or bean dishes, are the little plates of Japanese tableware, used for sauces, condiments and single bites. The chrysanthemum (kiku) shape, with a petal-fluted rim, is one of the most traditional forms for them, and the kiku is a long-standing symbol in Japan, including as the emblem of the imperial family.
What is a mamezara?
Mamezara means bean dish: a small plate or dish, usually under about 10cm, for sauces, condiments, pickles or a single sweet. Japanese households collect them in different shapes and glazes. At 75 x 35mm this one is on the deeper side, so it takes a small portion as well as a sauce.

Is there a smaller version?
Yes. A 61 x 22mm white chrysanthemum bean dish is arriving on the same container, and there is also an 83 x 38mm white chrysanthemum small dish in Mino ware.
Is it dishwasher and microwave safe?
We are waiting on the maker's care guidance and will add it here before the stock lands, so we are not going to guess. Until it arrives, hand washing in warm soapy water with a soft sponge is the safe choice for glazed Japanese tableware. Let it dry fully before stacking or putting it away.
When will my pre-order arrive?
This dish is on a container due in the UK in early November 2026. Order now to reserve one, and we will send it out once the stock has landed and been checked in. If the arrival date moves, we will let you know.
