Hello! This is Uchiru Editorial Department.
In 2021, we are gradually getting used to how to spend "home time".
Of course it's nice to eat at a restaurant, but this year has also been a year where we've bought new utensils, tried dishes we don't usually make, and enjoyed eating food at home. .
“Now that I can use the containers I currently have, I want to buy new ones.”
“I want to enjoy home-cooked meals even more.”
“I wonder what kind of new containers everyone has bought.” p>
For those people, we would like to introduce the top 20 best-selling utensils in 2021 from the approximately 3,000 items that Uchiru carries!
If you line them up...
・Color that is easy to match with any pottery.
・A simple design that you will never get tired of.
・Just put your usual food on it and it will look stylish.
This point seems to be the secret to its popularity.
Lastly, I would like to introduce the ``Hall of Fame Utsuwa'', which has been popular ever since the shop opened and has been ranked every year.
Now, let's take a look at them in order, starting with number one!
1st to 10th place
1st Place Pasta Plate Brown COLLIEN
The most popular item in 2021 was the high-quality and luxurious COLLIEN pasta plate.
The rim has a unique three-dimensional feel and the calming brown color gently brings out the color of the food.
Even pastas with few ingredients, such as Genovese and carbonara, can be made into a plate that looks great thanks to the large rim.
It is also popular because it can be used in the microwave and dishwasher, is durable, and easy to clean.
2nd place Oval plate white chrysanthemum
A cute chrysanthemum-shaped oval plate that will brighten up your dining table.
Onigiri and a small side dish, sandwich and a bite of fruit.
It's a great size to have as a snack when you get hungry.
3rd place: Powder scraped soup cup
This is a powdered soup cup with a pattern carved out one by one using a plane.
Take a break with the usual soups, such as vegetable soups with lots of ingredients and corn soups.
Granola with yogurt and fruit is the perfect size for breakfast.
4th place Shirasagi Bowl M Natural Sakura Shirasagi Woodworking
Charming round shape that fits well in your hand!
Wood is not only resistant to getting hot, but also resistant to cooling down, making it the perfect material for soup bowls.
When you wrap your hands around a bowl of freshly made miso soup, you can feel the warmth gradually coming through.
5th Place Large Plate Mustard Kei
It is a round, moon-like plate.
The deep, calm yellow texture makes any dish stand out.
It's the perfect size as a main dish for one person, and is perfect for everyday staples such as pork cutlet and ginger grilled meat.
6th place Oval plate gray rosemary
An oval plate with rosemary surrounding the rim.
Out of the wide variety of colors available, the most popular color is ``gray,'' which gives off a chic and mature atmosphere.
One of the reasons for its popularity is the oval shape, which makes it easy to arrange food on the plate and makes it look surprisingly sweet.
7th place Japanese plate with chrysanthemum pattern dyed
A Japanese plate shaped like a flower with a nostalgic chrysanthemum pattern.
It has a slightly cuter look than the cloisonné pattern that came in 14th place.
Combined with the elegant impression of dyeing, it will add a touch of glamor to your dining table.
8th place Plate Bowl L Dark Gray Usura
A clean and stylish form with a calm blue-gray color.
It has just the right depth and is extremely versatile, such as serving a hearty portion of fried chicken with vegetables or serving curry for one person.
They can be stacked, so it's a good idea to have multiple copies for your family or guests.
9th place: Flower tray, large zelkova, Yososawa Wood Crafts/KITO
A cute wooden tray with a round flower shape expressed in gentle curves.
It can hold one teapot and five teacups, so it is large enough to accommodate 3 to 4 guests.
As a meal for one person, it would also be great to serve rice, miso soup, and two or three small bowls or plates with side dishes.
10th place Striped plate gray
The warm and exquisite gray color is perfect for any type of cuisine, whether Japanese or Western.
You might think of long square plates as grilled fish, but they are actually great for serving Western-style side dishes and snacks.
There tends to be a lot of round dishes, but adding one will create rhythm at the dining table.
11th to 20th place
11th place Flower-shaped wooden bowl with Ajiro crest
The fine mesh pattern and the flower pattern drawn on the side reveal the delicate handwork.
It goes well with Japanese dishes such as simmered hijiki, as well as Chinese dishes such as shrimp chili.
This is a pottery that makes it fun to think about food combinations.
12th place Ash Shiraki lacquered wooden square tray Matsuya Lacquerware store
The natural texture makes it easy to match with any cuisine, whether it's Japanese or Western, and I feel like just arranging the plates will give it a ``proper feel''.
Shiraki lacquer is finished with a matte and transparent paint, so it is easy to handle and does not attract dirt or scratches easily.
13th place Powdered rice bowl
Because you use it every day, you want to choose your favorite tea bowl that you can use for a long time.
Konahiki is simple, but it has a deep charm that is unique to earthenware.
It will change as you use it every day, so please enjoy how it changes from time to time.
14th place Japanese plate, cloisonne, dyed
The cloisonné pattern of connected circles is an auspicious pattern that symbolizes wishes for harmony, harmony, and good fortune.
Not only can it be used in everyday life, but it will also add a touch of beauty to small celebrations.
It also goes well with fried rice spread out like you would at a Chinese restaurant.
15th place 9-inch plate AO
The combination of elegant blue and emerald green edges is attractive.
A large plate with a strong presence is perfect for parties.
When you want to share a large plate of food with everyone, it will brighten up the occasion.
16th place Twisted small bowl Twisted line red
The red lines drawn with a fine brush stand out well on the transparent, slightly bluish white porcelain.
Thin lines are drawn even on the high ground, showing the delicate handwork.
This tableware has a mature and dignified look and will cast an elegant light on the dining table.
17th place Kikyobuchi Takadai Nakazuke Yellow glaze
Those who think it would be difficult to match colors should try this color.
Any color will look great, such as the green of green vegetables, the red of strawberries, the brown of mushrooms, and the white of pickles.
With a clean flower shape and a bright yellow color, it has a presence even though it is small, and will brighten up your dining table.
18th place Warped pot L white
A curved pot with beautiful gentle curves.
The depth is just right for serving juicy main dishes such as cod with sweet and sour sauce or braised pork.
When you want to have a light lunch, you can serve soba noodles and somen noodles, so having one is a versatile utensil.
19th place Octagonal long plate Imari gourd
Gourds, which have a wide-opening shape, have been considered to bring good luck since ancient times.
It is said that a gourd with six gourds in particular is a talisman for good health.
It is the perfect size to hold side dishes for one person, and is also useful as a serving plate for celebrations such as birthdays and longevity.
20th place Cake 6 cm Fuchiha White
A cute design with fluttering frill-like rims.
The subdued color yet gorgeous form makes even an ordinary menu look much brighter and more fun.
As the name suggests, you can elegantly place the cake in the middle and enjoy the blank space.
Hall of Fame vessel
We would like to introduce some of our ``Hall of Fame Utsuwa'' that have been popular ever since we opened our store and are in the top sales rankings every year.
You can see other products that have been inducted into the Hall of Fame here.
Hall of Fame pottery list page
All of them are easy to use, and people often purchase multiple copies for their families and guests.
This is a container that has been chosen by customers for a long time, so no matter which one you choose, I think it will be useful not only at home, but also as a gift.
