Hasami ware is ceramics produced in Hasami Town, Nagasaki Prefecture.
The white porcelain has a delicate and deep dyed texture that you can enjoy, and the modern design is attractive.

In addition to rice bowls, we also introduce small bowls that are useful when you want to finish your meal quickly, as well as bowls where you can enjoy noodles as well!

"Hasami ware" is a type of ceramic ware made in Hasami Town, Nagasaki Prefecture, which boasts a tradition of over 400 years.

Many porcelain items are made, and they are microwave and dishwasher safe, durable and easy to handle, making them perfect for modern life. 
The good thing about this is that it is relatively inexpensive and there is little individual variation, so it is easy to have one for your family or for guests.

In addition, there are many gorgeous designs that give a Scandinavian feel, and they have become increasingly popular recently.
