Round Bowls: Round serving bowls are excellent for evenly distributing food, providing a balanced visual appeal. They are versatile and suitable for both Japanese and Western dishes.
Shallow Bowls: Shallow bowls have a wide, open shape, making them ideal for salads and pasta dishes where the ingredients can be spread out and displayed attractively.
