Crafted in Toki, the Birthplace of Japanese Ceramic Tradition

Handmade in Toki, the historic heart of Gifu’s renowned Mino ware region, each “Kogane” matcha bowl reflects centuries of Japanese craftsmanship. Artisans blend traditional firing techniques with refined clay forms to create a bowl that honors Japan’s tea heritage.

Stunning Blue With Silver Glaze

“Kurogane” traditionally means black metal or iron, a term that conveys strength, depth, and understated power. It evokes the image of forged steel solid, timeless, and quietly resilient.

This Kurogane Blue matcha bowl pairs a deep, luminous indigo interior with a textured metallic exterior reminiscent of aged iron. The rich blue glaze captures light like a night sky, while the outer surface carries a subtle, weathered patina. The contrast between the cool, vibrant interior and the raw, mineral-like exterior reflects a balance of strength and elegance, bold yet refined, modern yet rooted in tradition.

Gently Curved Shape with High Capacity

With its generous capacity of approximately 450 ml and well-balanced form, this bowl is ideal not only for whisking matcha with ease but also for enjoying other teas or even light meals. The wide opening allows comfortable whisk movement for proper aeration and foam creation, while the ample interior makes it versatile for daily use, from tea moments to small servings of desserts or side dishes.

Beautiful Gift for Matcha Enthusiasts and Wabi-Sabi Aesthetes

“Kurogane Blue” bowl comes carefully packaged and is perfect as a thoughtful gift. Whether for matcha beginners, tea ceremony practitioners, or collectors of Japanese ceramics, its elegant contrast and tactile feel make it a standout piece.

Caution: Avoid direct flame and sudden temperature shocks. Hand washing is recommended for preserving glaze quality over time.
