Everyday Cup for Soba and Sides
Product Description
Compact and easy to hold, this Hasami Soba Choko Cup is made for everyday use. The vessel is decorated with an inban pattern, a traditional stamping technique that gives the surface a quiet repeating rhythm.
Soba choko has long been used for more than just soba noodles. It also pairs well with drinks and small side dishes, making it a practical piece for everyday meals. The cup measures 3.5" (9 cm) in diameter × 2.5" (6.4 cm) in height.
Each cup is hand-finished. Because it is made from naturally derived materials, slight differences in color may occur from piece to piece.
It is made in Japan from ceramic pottery and comes in an exclusive craft box with a logo. It is marked as dishwasher- and microwave-safe and should not be used over an open flame.
This is a straightforward, versatile cup for the table: useful for soba, tea, small servings, and everyday dining, with a traditional pattern that keeps the look calm and distinctive.

Artisan & Craft
This soba choko uses inban, a traditional Japanese transfer-printing technique, to apply its repeating pattern with remarkable consistency around the surface. Rather than appearing perfectly machine-made, the design retains the small variations in tone, alignment, and impression that come from hand-finishing and the firing process. Those subtle irregularities give the cup its warmth and individuality, while the repeating motif creates a strong visual rhythm that feels both graphic and restrained.
Note
Hand-finished earthenware, so slight differences in color and appearance may occur from piece to piece. Dishwasher and microwave safe, but not for open flame.
