Handmade in Gifu, Japan | Large Dusky Pink Minoware Chawan (美濃焼)
This large Minoware Chawan is a celebration of Japan’s timeless ceramic artistry. Handcrafted in Gifu Prefecture, the heart of Minoware (美濃焼), each bowl is entirely unique — its soft dusky pink glaze and gently sloping lip evoke a lotus flower in bloom, capturing light and movement with elegant grace.
Generously sized for a full, effortless whisk, it is perfect for both daily matcha practice and ceremonial enjoyment. The form and weight are thoughtfully balanced, offering a natural, comforting grip and fluid motion beneath your hands.
A Legacy of Minoware
Minoware has been crafted in Gifu for over 1,300 years, flourishing during Japan’s Momoyama period and giving rise to iconic styles such as Shino and Oribe. Each bowl carries the legacy of centuries of tradition, where clay, glaze, and fire meet the artisan’s hand to create vessels of enduring beauty and function.
A chawan that is not just a tea bowl — but a moment of quiet elegance in your tea ritual.

such a beautifully smooth, creamy, naturally sweet, matcha. I’ve been enjoying this as my morning matcha, and will definitely be repurchasing when it’s finished.
Superb and premium quality matcha. Soft and smooth to the palate with a strong & pleasant fragrance. You pay for what you get and a little bit goes a very long way. Highly recommended.
A beautiful home for my bamboo whisk
