Koyo Kiln LEAVES Soba Choko Shinogi | Free Cup Arita Ware

Traditional arts in modern life

A cute soba choko with an indigo leaf pattern drawn all around. The carefully decorated shinogi decorations give you a sense of the warmth and sure craftsmanship of the craftsmen. The elegant and mature designs are carefully drawn one by one using a traditional technique called ``sometsuke''. Although it is delicate, it is full of gentle loveliness. One of the charms of Arita ware is its transparent, slightly bluish white color and smooth texture. The slight shading of color that is visible due to the unevenness of the shinogi gives expression to the pottery.

Great for chawanmushi and desserts

Dip the soba noodles tightly in ice water into the mentsuyu and let them sizzle all at once! Soba choko is perfect for such occasions. It can also be used as a free cup, such as steamed egg custard, vegetable jelly, or shiratama dumplings with plum syrup. What's nice about it is that the edges of the mouth widen just a little, giving it a nice texture. You can enjoy using it in a variety of ways, such as making coffee or tea, depending on your ideas.

Hoyang Kiln

1947 Started a kiln in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture Mainly produces sake vessels, and later produces general tableware. 2003: Changed the name of the kiln to Koyo Kiln. Currently 3rd generation (Yosuke Maeda) We manufacture a wide range of household tableware with simple and soft forms, from indigo-dyed to red-painted and glazed vessels. We value traditional Arita techniques and aim to create pottery that fits modern lifestyles and that both creators and users can relate to. ``I want the younger generation to use Arita ware as well.'' Arita ware, which used to be used for special occasions, can now be used on a daily basis. This idea is reflected in the price range and design.
