Japanese Rice Bowls for Everyday Meals
The Right Size for Rice
A traditional Japanese rice bowl, or chawan, is sized to sit comfortably in one hand and is lifted while eating, which is why the foot of the bowl matters as much as the pattern. The Kanagawa Great Wave Rice Bowl is an easy, affordable place to start.
Donburi Bowls
For rice topped with meat, egg or vegetables, a deeper donburi bowl holds a full meal. The Mino Ware Donburi Cherry Blossom Set and the Kaga Yuzen Okonomi Bowl are both generously sized.
Rice Bowl Gift Sets
Our rice bowl gift sets pair a bowl with matching chopsticks and arrive ready to give, including the Owl Rice Bowl Gift Set, the Shiba Inu Rice Bowl Gift Set and the Great Wave & Red Fuji Bowl Set.
Mino Ware and Kutani Ware
Everyday Mino ware rice bowls from Gifu are made for daily use, while hand-painted Kutani ware bowls such as Atelier Yu's Cats in a Sunny Spot bring a little art to the table.
