Premium Botamochi Half Round Dinner Plates - Elegant Japanese Style Ceramic Plates for Sushi, Desserts & Appetizers - Perfect for Home Dining, Parties & Restaurant Use

Product Description

The Hozan Kiln Half-Round Dinner Plate embodies the earthy textures and colors characteristic of Bizen ware.

The term "botamochi" in the product name refers to a traditional round-shaped Japanese confectionery and is also one of the classic patterns found on Bizen ware pieces.

This pattern is created by inserting round pieces of refractory clay between each plate before firing them in the kiln. After being subjected to high temperatures, distinctive round shapes in various colors—from red to brown—appear on the areas that were covered. Each plate features slightly different patterns and colors, making every piece a unique work of art.

The plate is thick and sturdy, showcasing varying textures on each side. It pairs exceptionally well with sushi and sashimi, enhancing the freshness of the seafood. Additionally, it is perfect for serving Japanese sweets, providing an elegant touch to a relaxing tea time.
