Tamba ware, a tradition that has continued for 800 years in Hyogo Prefecture. This is the large size of the "Yuzu" series, brimming with presence, with each piece brought to life by the artisans of "Shoyogama".
The soft, matte texture and the warm, sunlit yellow. The unique subtle variations in color, characteristic of pottery, create a gentle atmosphere that envelops your food.
At first glance, the "Yuzu color" appears vibrant, but it is actually a magical color that best enhances the rich colors of various dishes, from brown simmered dishes essential to Japanese cuisine to colorful vegetables. Maison Toji focused on this "19.7cm" size. It offers ample space for beautifully arranging a main dish, and its depth makes it ideal for Japanese dishes with sauces. We selected it as a "new standard" that transcends the boundaries between Japanese and Western styles, harmonizing with modern lifestyles.
Size that enhances the main dish: Perfect as a serving bowl for stews or salads for 2-3 people. Also, it's a leading-role size that elevates single dishes like pasta, curry, or hiyashi chuka (chilled ramen noodles).
Artisan-crafted "Yuzu Skin" texture: A moist, matte texture that feels comfortable in your hand, like the skin of a fruit. By suppressing light reflection, it makes the colors of your food appear vivid and delicious.
Tradition x Modern: While retaining the strength of Tamba soil, it has the appearance of vintage Scandinavian tableware. It adds warmth to wooden tables and a soft accent to modern tables.
