For noodles, side dishes, and desserts
Product Description
This Hasami Soba Choko Cup brings a clean, compact shape to the table, with a patterned surface made using the ancient inban stamping technique. In the hand, it reads as an everyday vessel: straightforward, useful, and easy to reach for at breakfast, lunch, or after dinner.
A soba choko is traditionally used for soba broth, but this form works just as naturally for drinks and side dishes. It can also serve as a dessert bowl, a small bowl, or a convenient container for daily use. The design is focused on regular dining, not display-only use.
Made in Japan from ceramic pottery, each piece is hand-finished by a craftsman. The cup is made from naturally derived materials, so slight differences in color may appear from piece to piece. Those small variations are part of the character of the vessel.
The size is 3.5" (9 cm) in diameter and 2.5" (6.4 cm) high. It comes in an exclusive craft box with logo, making it a considered choice for gifting as well as for your own table. The finish keeps the focus on the surface pattern and the simple bowl form.
Care is easy: this cup is dishwasher safe and microwave safe, while open fire is not suitable. The result is a practical Hasami ware cup with a clearly defined use, solid presentation, and the kind of details that suit everyday tableware well.

Hasami: Where Everyday Beauty Meets Centuries of Craft
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.
Clean forms, subtle glazes, and quiet elegance define each piece, reflecting a philosophy where craftsmanship serves everyday life.
Hasami Ware embodies Japanese restraint, function, and enduring quality—made to be used, lived with, and appreciated over time.
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.
