Kakumaka Indigo Noodle Bowl – Set of 2

This noodle bowl set was crafted by artisan potters in Gifu, a mountainous prefecture considered the top ceramic-producing region in Japan. Their design is a nod to the Tobikanna technique, also known as chattering—a ceramic style where a metal plane is lightly skipped across the clay’s surface when turning on a potter’s wheel, resulting in a carved or engraved pattern. This eye-catching set acts as the perfect serving bowl for all sorts of noodles, soups, curries and more. And each bowl—which features deep blue glazes and a contrasted shaved wood design—is one of a kind due to its handmade, chattering nature.

We like to use it for serving noodles—like ramen, pho and pasta—curry, salads and more. When transferring from kitchen to table, you’ll feel the bowl’s subtle grooves that connect it back to small potters honing their craft in lush mountain villages. Sold in a set of two.
