Choko, which were said to have been commonly made of porcelain in the past, were used for drinking sake and serving small portions of food. However, with the increasing popularity of noodles, including soba, during the Edo period, soba choko became established as containers for dipping sauces. Soba choko are versatile vessels that can be used for desserts, side dishes, steamed dishes, potato salad, and even coffee... they are "all-purpose" bowls. ※ Mashiko-yaki has been popular as everyday tableware since the kilns were established at the end of the Edo period. These vessels are characterized by the plump, warm texture that is a characteristic of Mashiko-yaki. The simple design and the feeling of rustic charm are also appealing. ※ As Japanese pottery is finished by hand, each piece has its own unique variations in appearance. The size may also vary slightly depending on the product. Differences in color, the shade of the glaze, patterns, cracks (fine cracks), visible areas of the clay body, small holes, glaze drips, color unevenness, blurring, distortion, scorch marks, and uneven firing may occur in the products, so please understand these characteristics before purchasing. ※ Please note that the actual product color may differ from the color on the screen depending on the shooting environment and the device you are viewing. ※ Products will be shipped at random from the available stock. ※ Notes on using microwave and dishwasher ◇ Microwave / Oven ※ Earthenware is highly absorbent, so be careful as heating it in the microwave when it has absorbed a lot of moisture can cause the moisture to expand rapidly and crack the vessel. ※ Be careful as heating it when it is chilled in the refrigerator can also cause it to crack. ◇ Dishwasher ※ Please load the dishes so they do not bump into each other too much. (Earthenware, which is less strong than porcelain, is prone to cracking) ※ Earthenware is highly absorbent, so dry it well after washing. ※ We are also selling various other tableware, so please take a look. #nanaroom #MatsuBokkuri ↑ Same seller, can be combined for shipping.
