Mino Ware, Two-Tone Triangular Small Bowl, 103x38mm
103 x 38mm: a shallow three-cornered bowl in two tones, for small bites that deserve an angle.
Pre-order: arriving in the UK in late October 2026
This Mino ware small bowl is triangular, 103mm across and 38mm high, and finished in two contrasting tones. The three-sided shape breaks up a table of round plates, and the shallow depth shows off whatever sits in it.
Why Chefs Choose This
- Breaks the circle: a triangle among round plates makes a table look planned
- Shallow enough to show off: 38mm keeps small portions visible
- Two tones in one piece: contrast without adding another dish
- Small footprint: fits on a tray, a bento board or a crowded counter
How to Use
- Otsumami: snacks with sake or beer: edamame, pickles, salted nuts
- Condiments: wasabi, grated ginger, spring onion or yuzu kosho
- Small sides: a spoonful of kinpira, namasu or a dressed salad
- Tasting menus: one-bite courses where presentation matters
Japanese tableware has long mixed shapes on a single table, and angular dishes sit naturally alongside round bowls and rectangular plates. 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.
What will fit in a 103mm triangular bowl?
It measures 103mm across and 38mm high, so think small portions: a few pieces of pickle, a spoonful of a side dish, a condiment or a handful of snacks. It is a supporting dish rather than a main one, and it works best alongside rice and larger plates.

Is there a matching bowl in another colour?
Yes. The same 103 x 38mm triangular shape is also coming in Oribe green on this container, so you can mix the two across a table.
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 bowl is on a container due in the UK in late October 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.
