Mino Ware, Ryukyu Lapis Arabesque Noodle Bowl, 240x75mm
240 x 75mm: a wide noodle bowl with a lapis-blue arabesque, big enough for a proper bowl of ramen.
Pre-order: arriving in the UK in late October 2026
This Mino ware noodle bowl is 240mm across and 75mm high, decorated with a deep lapis-blue arabesque in the Ryukyu style. It is wide and generous, so noodles, broth and toppings all have room.
Why Chefs Choose This
- Ramen-ready: 240mm across for noodles, broth and toppings
- Room to present: toppings sit on show rather than sinking
- Blue under broth: lapis sets off golden broth, egg and green spring onion
- A family of shapes: the same design in rice bowls, plates and soba bowls
How to Use
- Ramen: shoyu, miso or tonkotsu with full toppings
- Udon and soba: hot noodles in dashi broth
- Big salads: a noodle salad or poke bowl for one
- Sharing: a centrepiece bowl of karaage or edamame
The Ryukyu name looks south to Okinawa, once the Ryukyu Kingdom, whose pottery (yachimun) is known for bold, generous decoration. The arabesque is karakusa (唐草), the scrolling vine pattern that travelled to Japan along the Silk Road and has been a favourite on Japanese tableware ever since. This piece is Mino ware, made in Gifu Prefecture, Japan's largest ceramic tableware region. The lapis colourway is a deep, mineral blue, named after lapis lazuli, which makes pale and green food look especially fresh.
Is 240mm big enough for ramen?
Yes. Ramen bowls usually run from about 200 to 240mm across, so at 240 x 75mm this is at the generous end, with room for noodles, broth and toppings like chashu, egg and greens. It also works as a serving bowl for the table.
