[Selected by Utsuwaya staff] Recommended Mino ware and Banko ware

Hello! This is Uchiru editorial staff.

Due to its stylish design, durability, and reasonable price, Mino ware is recommended for beginners and those who want to stock up on supplies for their family.

This time, we conducted a thorough investigation of recommended Mino ware among the staff members who work at our store who love pottery!

We have carefully selected 6 items based on their ease of use and stylishness, which we can understand because we come into contact with a lot of Mino ware every day!

Something to accent your dining table

Put toast on it for breakfast, pasta for lunch, and a main side dish for dinner.
Plates are the utensils that are used most often during the day.

The purpose for which they are used varies depending on their size and design, so if you have several of them, you can expand the variety of your dining table.

If you serve pasta or stew, which is a staple of home-cooked meals, you'll think, ``This is the restaurant's version. I like the fact that it makes you feel like “Isn’t this food?”

Although it has a luxurious feel, it is surprisingly durable, and I am thankful that it can be used in the dishwasher and microwave.
