Collection: Main Plates
What are Japanese Main Plates?
Japanese main plates are large dishes used to beautifully and practically serve food, making them an essential item in Japanese dining. These plates are often the centerpiece of the table, reflecting Japan's culinary culture and aesthetic sensibilities through various shapes, designs, and materials.
Features of Japanese Main Plates
- Size: Japanese main plates typically range from 21cm (approximately 8.3 inches) to 30cm (approximately 11.8 inches) in diameter. They are ideal for serving family-sized portions or main dishes. In Japan, unlike in large gatherings typical in some other countries, it is common for dishes to be served individually. Therefore, a single plate can serve as the main dish for 3 to 5 people.
