Mashiko-yaki Rice Bowl – A Classic for the Modern Table
Crafted at the Wada Kiln, a studio that carries on the tradition of Mashiko ware, this rice bowl is part of the “Kihon no Set” series – a collection designed to bring regional Japanese ceramics into everyday life. While preserving the rustic charm of Mashiko pottery, its versatile form fits effortlessly into the modern dining setting, from breakfast through dinner.
Shaped by Mashiko’s Natural Landscape
Mashiko is a well-known ceramics town, beloved by many young potters today. Among them, Wada Kiln produces classic Mashiko ware using traditional glazes. The warm, grounded character of the piece reflects the local climate and clay. With its thick, rounded form and reinforced rim, it echoes the sturdy, generous shapes that Mashiko is known for.

Care Instructions
• Microwave safe.
• Due to the nature of ceramic, fine surface cracks (crazing) may develop over time. These are harmless and part of the piece’s natural character.
Before First Use
To help prevent staining:
• Place the bowl in a pot with leftover rice water.
• Heat gently and simmer on low for 15 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and let cool in the liquid.
• Rinse well and dry completely.
During Use
• Avoid sudden temperature changes (do not place cold bowls into hot environments or vice versa).
• Soaking briefly in water before use helps reduce staining and odor absorption.
After Use
• Dishwasher safe, though hand-washing is recommended for long-term use.
• Use a soft sponge and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleansers or metal scrubbers.
• Do not soak for long periods. After washing, dry thoroughly with a soft cloth and store in a well-ventilated place.
Please Note
• Handle with care to prevent chips or cracks.
• Discontinue use if any cracks or damage are found.
• Crazing may appear with use but is not a defect.
• Each piece is handmade and may vary slightly in color and shape.
