This large soup bowl brings centuries-old Echizen lacquer craftsmanship into modern kitchens. The "Echizen Hard Lacquer" finish was developed through collaboration between Fukui Prefecture and Fukui University—creating a durable coating that withstands dishwashers while maintaining the beauty of traditional lacquerware.
Crafted using the shinnuri technique, where lacquer is filtered multiple times to remove dust and applied in a single, brushstroke-free layer. The result is a smooth, resilient surface suited to everyday use.
The bowl's form is rooted in the traditional "Asakura Bowl" shape—a solid, stable base with a characteristic flared rim that curves outward. This makes it comfortable to hold and easy to bring to your mouth, perfect for noodle bowls, rice bowls, or hearty soups.
Available in semi matte red and black.
