黑白抹茶碗

The black and white glaze looks even better in person than in the photos, and it's clearly handmade. I've been whisking matcha in it every morning and the medium size gives me plenty of room without splashing.

The weight of this bowl in my hands makes whisking feel steadier than the thin ceramic one I used before. The glaze has tiny variations that catch the light, so no two angles look the same. It's medium sized, which is exactly right for a single serving of matcha.

The white and black glaze looks even better in person, and it's the perfect size for whisking a single serving of matcha without splashing over the edges. You can tell it was handmade in Japan from the little variations in the finish.
