1． Simple taste due to the texture of the earth

color that is said to be scarlet due to firing, and the unique finish due to the vidro glaze and charring on the
surface are attractive.

It is thick and durable because it is covered with a lot of glaze.
The rim is also thick, so it has a gentle
texture.

Therefore, it goes well with a wide range of menus, and is easy to coordinate with other utsuwa.
