Everyday Japanese bowl for soba and more
Product Description
The Hasami Soba Choko Cup brings a compact, easy-to-hold form to the table, finished with an inban pattern that gives the surface its character. Sized at 3.5" × 2.5" (9 cm × 6.4 cm), it has the proportions of a traditional soba choko, ready for noodles, drinks, or small servings.
Made in Japan from ceramic pottery, each piece is hand-finished by a craftsman. The body is made from naturally derived materials, so slight color variations may occur from one cup to another. That individual variation is part of the vessel’s character.
The inban stamping technique gives the cup a clear patterned finish, while the compact silhouette keeps it versatile for daily use. It works as a soba choko, dessert bowl, small bowl, or convenient container, and it is also described as a Hasamiyaki Tamari Original Cup.
Part of the Inban KAGOME Soba Choko Cup series, this piece offers a restrained, everyday presence with a practical size and clear craftsmanship. It is a simple, useful vessel with enough detail to stand on its own at the table.

Born in the Hasami ware tradition of Nagasaki Prefecture, this soba choko carries the easy elegance that has made Hasami-yaki a favorite for everyday use since the Edo period. Its surface is decorated with the inban stamping technique, a refined transfer method that lets crisp patterns meet the soft warmth of ceramics, while the hand-finishing gives each cup subtle character and slight variations in tone. Compact and versatile, it feels equally at home for soba, tea, small sides, or dessert—an unpretentious piece shaped by a long history of practical beauty.
