about

Made by Kentaro Murayama, a potter in Karatsu, Saga. He walks the mountains himself to collect the raw materials such as soil, iron and stone. The designs are simple and fit with modern food culture, allowing for long-lasting use. The Madara Karatsu bowls are made by elutriating white clay collected in the Kitahata area, and made with a glaze formulated based on burnt rice cake straw ash.

Since all processes are done by hand, there will be individual differences. There may be distortion, roughness on the surface, or uneven color. Each piece has a different texture. The photo is a sample, so the product you receive may have a slightly different texture. It fits perfectly in a rice bowl. This is a delicious dish that will have you eating lots of rice.

*This dish has been used once, at a food event held in February 2025. Please be aware of this before purchasing.
