Japanese Ramen Bowl, Black

A large black bowl, understated and deep, designed for ramen and generous soups.

The black glaze is not uniform: in places it takes on grey reflections and a light silvery speckle, especially towards the top of the bowl. These nuances appear and disappear with the angle of the light, giving the black real depth.

A thin, lighter line highlights the rim and outlines the bowl on the table. The well-defined foot gives it a clean, stable silhouette that is pleasant to hold even when the bowl is full.

At 21 cm in diameter and 8.5 cm high, it easily holds broth, noodles and toppings. It suits ramen, udon, soba in broth, pho or a large vegetable soup.

Its dark colour shows off colourful dishes: the yellow of a marinated egg, the green of spring onions, the pink of a slice of chashu. Being porcelain, it is made for everyday use.
