Putting them together on one piece is a traditional way of celebrating the changing year. Mino ware (美濃焼) comes from the Tono area of Gifu Prefecture, around towns such as Tajimi and Toki, and is Japan's largest ceramic tableware tradition, with more than a thousand years of kiln history behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; font-size: 1rem; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eCan I make matcha in this bowl?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 22px; font-size: 0.95rem;\"\u003eYes, for a casual bowl. At 115 x 54mm it is shallower and smaller than a formal matcha bowl, but there is room to whisk a single serving. It is just as useful for rice, a side dish or a dessert, which is why we call it a shallow tea bowl rather than a matcha bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; font-size: 1rem; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 10px 0 25px 0; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35);\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"opacity: 0.75; width: 35%; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003e115mm diameter x 54mm high\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"opacity: 0.75; width: 35%; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eShallow tea bowl (chawan)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"opacity: 0.75; width: 35%; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eGlaze and Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eCherry blossom and maple decoration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"opacity: 0.75; width: 35%; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eCeramic, Mino ware (美濃焼)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"opacity: 0.75; width: 35%; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eMino, Gifu Prefecture, Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"opacity: 0.75; width: 35%; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eTo follow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"opacity: 0.75; width: 35%; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003e180g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"opacity: 0.75; width: 35%; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eCare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eTo follow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"opacity: 0.75; width: 35%; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eBest Used For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eTea, rice, sides, desserts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 12px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 0.9rem; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eIs it suitable as a gift?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 12px; font-size: 0.85rem; margin: 0;\"\u003eYes.
