By the way, the words "tea bowl(chawan)" and "rice bowl" originally had different meanings, but now they are used interchangeably.
In this article, we will introduce 20 recommended rice bowls that will come in handy in your daily life.
If you would like to see a variety of rice bowls, you can also view them from the link below.
How to choose a rice bowl
When you search online or at a store, do you ever find that there are so many rice bowls lined up that you don't know which one to choose?
If you are unsure, this is it! A rice bowl that is easy to use every day
In such cases, we recommend something that has a simple design and is easy to use.
For example...There is a Mino ware chrysanthemum rice bowl.
Rice Bowl Chrysanthemum | Mino Ware
A soft and gentle rice bowl with chamfered lines.
A soft white with a hint of gray or ecru gives it a natural feel and is a color that is easy to match with food or other utensils.
Since a rice bowl is often held in the hand, you should also pay attention to its comfort and weight.
It has a small size that is easy for women to hold, and it weighs about 200g.
It has a sturdy platform so it is easy to pick up.
Also, it is durable enough to warm frozen rice and can be placed in the dishwasher, making it easy to use on a daily basis.
Three points when choosing a rice bowl
1. Simple design
Because you use it every day, choosing something with a simple design and color will prevent you from getting tired of it and allow you to continue using it for a long time.
2. Size and weight
We recommend choosing a bowl that is not too heavy because you often eat in your hand.
Most of them are around 200g, so please use this as your criteria when choosing.
In addition, items with a raised base do not have a hot bottom and are easy to hold.
3. Durable for everyday use
"I want to warm up frozen rice"
"It's been a while since it was cooked, so I want to reheat it"
A microwave oven can be relied upon in such cases, and it is definitely convenient to use it.
Also, it is difficult to clean the bowl after eating, so you may want to use the dishwasher.
Porcelain items are durable and can be used in the microwave and dishwasher in most cases, but please note that ceramic items and items made by artists may not be microwave safe.
Please be sure to check the handling instructions.
From here, we will introduce recommended products by teacup design.
Simplicity is what makes life interesting.
