Red DoMatcha handcrafted japanese matcha bowl
This is my first chawan, purchased from DoMatcha. Chawans are used in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony and are for drinking matcha; finely ground green tea powder whisked with hot water. Before acquiring this chawan, I would drink my matcha from either a wide soup cup or cereal bowl. I must say that it is more satisfying to drink matcha from a traditional vessel.
Chawans come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from elegantly simplistic to rough and earthy. I chose this one because I hadn't seen many with a red glaze. It contrasts nicely with the bright green matcha after it is mixed and has complex enough patterning to keep the eyes interested. The patina of the glaze is smooth but with a slight texture for easy gripping. The bowl doesn't get too hot, is nicely weighted, and its flat "foot" keeps it from easily tipping. The interior is smooth with no ridges so the matcha powder is easy to mix properly. This style is slightly taller and thinner than most and is meant to...
Nice Matcha Bowl - Good Price
Very nice bowl. The glaze has nice color and texture variation to it and the inside of the matcha bowl has the hand thrown swirl marks. The bottom is unfinished and I hand-wash it as it does not look dishwasher safe. It is very easy to clean by hand with just hot water. A bamboo chasen is needed to stir the matcha into a nice slightly frothy blend for drinking. The chasen is more essential than the matcha bown in my opinion.
excellent
Nice little matcha mixing bowl that doubles as a tea cup.
Pretty. Elegant. Looks very similar to the one pictured.
