Japanese Oblong
& Sushi Plates

Use them for sushi, sashimi, grilled fish, vegetables or a selection of appetisers. They also work well for fruit and small desserts. Choose a plate with enough usable space for your serving and a raised rim if the food has sauces or juices.

Compare the listed length and width with a plate you already use. Allow room for the food, any garnish and a little space between pieces. For shared servings, check the usable centre rather than length alone: broad rims and tapered ends can reduce the serving area.

Oblong describes an elongated shape, while sushi plate describes a use. An oblong plate can be used for sushi and many other dishes, and a sushi plate does not have to be rectangular. Choose by the dimensions, serving surface and rim rather than the name alone.

Choose a shared colour, glaze or motif to connect your plates with bowls, dipping dishes and chopstick rests. An elongated plate can also add contrast to a setting of round dishes. Check each product description for what is included; pictured accessories may be sold separately.

Care requirements vary by material, glaze and decoration. Check the instructions on each product page before using a dishwasher or microwave. If suitability is not stated, ask us before use rather than assuming that every ceramic plate is suitable.
