Happy Donabe New Year 2020

Marie & Naoko’s Donabe Dinner Party

A new addition to the Ryu dinnerware collection by

A new addition to the Ryu dinnerware collection by esteemed lacquerware producer Yamada Heiando just arrived. The bold brushstrokes represent the dynamism of dragons flying in the air. Dragons have always been the subject of admiration in Japan, appearing in classical arts again and again. On this plate, it is expressed using the gliding brush technique called “Makie”, exclusive to Japanese lacquerware.

Crafted using the ancient traditions of lacquerware and meticulously hand-painted individually by the skilled artisans, this plate is a feast for the eyes.

Yamada Heiando is a japanese lacquerware producer, with more than 100 years of history. They are a proud purveyor of tableware to the Japanese Imperial Household.

We love to use this shallow but wide bowl for pasta, curry & rice as well as salads. (Its also convenient that its microwave and dishwasher safe!)

Just in time for the summer season we have now restocked the porcelain tableware from Miyama from Gifu, Japan.

The beautiful blue tones of their handcrafted porcelainware are perfect for summer: scenes of cool pools of water, clear blue skies and a light breeze come to mind.

While the company was established in 1977, their techniques are steeped in local tradition. At Miyama highly skilled craftspeople use unique molds to craft their porcelain through a process that has been refined to perfection over time.

There is a very special charming flavor to the Miyama tableware that comes from their devotion to the craft of porcelain.

Our new item is the uniquely tilted KANNA Glass Tu

Our new item is the uniquely tilted KANNA Glass Tumbler. The tumbler provides beautiful and random ways to show off your favorite chilled beverage.

When Tokyo based glassware company Kimura Glass asked the renowned designer Hiroshi Yamasaki to make a new kind of glass for them, this glass tumbler was his inventive response.

The bottom is shaved with a plane after the glass' initial shape is made, so that the bottom resembles a surface of a rock and the tumbler can sit at different angles.

Whatever drink you enjoy with this tumbler, we hope this will give you a special experience each time.
