Shirasagi bowls from Shirasagi Mokko, a long-established Yamanaka lacquerware shop in Ishikawa Prefecture. This is a set of two identical bowls, luxuriously crafted from carved domestic natural wood.
This product features a natural finish that allows you to enjoy the natural wood grain. You can choose from five types of wood: zelkova, cherry, maple, oak, and chestnut.
Yamanaka lacquerware is characterized by its beautiful wood grain, high strength, and resistance to deformation, achieved through a technique called "vertical cutting," where the wood is cut into cross-sections. The surface is very smooth thanks to the urethane coating finish.
These soup bowls have a subtle, understated Japanese aesthetic, making them perfect not only for classic miso soup but also for other soups and stews. Each bowl is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans. They come in a gift box for two, making them ideal for weddings, housewarmings, and other special occasions.
