━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
◆ Key Features
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Authentic Kiyomizu-yaki (Kyoto-yaki) craftsmanship with a rich heritage dating back to the Nara and Heian periods
• Nanban Mishima design featuring elegant, refined patterns that reflect centuries of Kyoto tradition
• Textured interior deliberately designed to enhance the frothing of matcha when using a chasen (tea whisk) — the whisk glides smoothly without catching
• Each piece is individually kiln-fired, resulting in unique glaze variations that make your bowl one of a kind
• Crafted from fine ceramic (tōki), delivering a warm and authentic feel in your hands

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
◆ How to Use
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
① Place 1–2 scoops of matcha powder into the bowl using a chashaku (tea scoop).
② Pour a small amount of hot water (approximately 70–80°C) into the bowl.
③ Whisk briskly with a chasen (bamboo tea whisk) until a smooth, frothy layer forms on the surface. The textured interior helps create a rich, fine foam.
④ Savour and enjoy the moment of tranquillity.
⑤ After use, gently rinse the bowl with warm water and allow it to air dry thoroughly before storing.
