It has a wide mouth and a sturdy and stable shape, which is great for foodies. You can also enjoy ochazuke topped with grilled salmon and rice with egg. It's also great to use as a small bowl for juicy side dishes, such as green vegetable ohitashi or fried vegetables. Turtles, which are considered lucky charms, are also useful at celebrations.
