Everyday bowl for noodles, drinks, and sides
Product Description
The Hasami Soba Choko Cup is a compact ceramic vessel finished with an inban stamped pattern, giving the surface a clear, graphic look. Its form is familiar and versatile: a soba choko has long been used not only for soba, but also for drinks and small side dishes, making this a practical piece for everyday dining.
Each cup is made in Japan from ceramic pottery and hand-finished by a craftsman. The cup measures 3.5" (9 cm) across and 2.5" (6.4 cm) high, a size that works well as a soba cup, dessert bowl, small bowl, or a convenient serving container for the table.
The finish is shaped by natural materials, so slight differences in color may occur from piece to piece. That variation is part of the character of the vessel, and it means each cup will have its own appearance while staying true to the same simple, usable form.
For care, this piece is marked dishwasher safe and microwave safe, while open fire use is not allowed. It comes in an exclusive craft box with a logo, which makes it easy to store or give as a gift.
The design belongs to the Hasamiyaki Tamari Original Cup series and pairs with other inban patterns in the same range. If you want a small, everyday cup with a clean profile, a stamped surface, and the practicality of a multi-use vessel, this is an easy one to keep on hand.

Nestled in the hills of Nagasaki Prefecture, the town of Hasami has been a center of Japanese ceramics for over 400 years.
Known for its refined balance of practicality and beauty, Hasami Ware was created for daily use, valuing durability, simplicity, and thoughtful design. Today, Hasami artisans continue this tradition by blending time-honored techniques with a modern sensibility.

Hasami Ware: Craft for Everyday Life
Hasami ware is defined by its quiet balance between function, beauty, and restraint.
Originating in Hasami, Nagasaki Prefecture, its history dates back to the early 17th century, when the region became a major center for porcelain production under the patronage of local feudal lords.
Unlike more ornamental styles created for the elite, Hasami ware was developed primarily for everyday use, emphasizing durability, stackability, and efficiency without sacrificing elegance. Over centuries, artisans refined standardized forms while allowing subtle variation through glaze, firing, and hand finishing.
Traditionally influenced by Chinese techniques, Hasami gradually formed its own identity—clean silhouettes, practical proportions, and understated decoration. In modern times, Hasami ware has evolved seamlessly, embracing contemporary design while preserving its utilitarian roots.
This enduring adaptability reflects a philosophy in which craftsmanship serves daily life, creating objects meant not only to be admired but also truly used and lived with.
