Why You’ll Love It
Set includes three matching Japanese noodle bowls
Generous 53.4 fl oz / 1,580 ml capacity per bowl
Wide 8.5 in / 21.5 cm shape for ramen, udon, donburi and pasta
Red-and-white koi stand out against the deep indigo interior
The Nishiki Goi Noodle Bowls Set includes three generously proportioned Mino ware porcelain bowls made for noodles, rice dishes and other substantial servings.
Each bowl measures approximately 8.5 in (21.5 cm) in diameter and 3.1 in (8 cm) high, with a listed capacity of 53.4 fl oz (1,580 ml). The broad opening gives ramen, udon and soba room to be arranged without crowding, while the depth accommodates broth, toppings and generous portions comfortably.
The design features red-and-white nishikigoi moving across a deep indigo interior. A resist-decoration technique helps define the koi against the darker surface, creating the impression of fish moving through deep water.
Made from porcelain, the bowls are relatively light for their size while remaining practical for regular use. Their generous proportions also work well for donburi, curry, pasta, salads and shared dishes.
Produced in Mizunami, Gifu Prefecture, the set brings a distinctive koi design to an everyday Japanese tableware form. All three bowls share the same coordinated finish, making the set suitable for family meals, entertaining, or gifting.

FAQs
All you need to know about Japanese Pottery.
What types of traditional pottery are made in Japan?
Japan is home to several renowned pottery styles, including Mino ware (Gifu), Bizen ware (Okayama), Arita and Imari ware (Saga), Shigaraki ware (Shiga), and Mashiko ware (Tochigi). Each region has its own distinct materials, glazes, and firing techniques that reflect local history and aesthetics. Toki City in Gifu Prefecture is particularly renowned as the heart of Mino ware (Minoyaki)—the most widely produced pottery style in Japan.
What materials are used in artisan Japanese pottery?
Most artisan pottery in Japan is made from locally sourced clay, often mixed and refined by hand. Natural minerals and ash are used in glazes, and many pieces are wood-fired or fired in traditional climbing kilns (noborigama), producing unique surface textures and natural variations.
Are artisan Japanese pottery pieces safe for food use?
Yes. Authentic artisan pottery is made with food-safe, lead-free glazes and is carefully fired at high temperatures to ensure durability and safety. However, it's important to follow care instructions, especially for unglazed or porous ceramics.
What makes Japanese pottery different from Western ceramics?
Japanese pottery often emphasizes wabi-sabi—the beauty of imperfection—resulting in organic shapes, subtle asymmetry, and natural glazes. Unlike Western ceramics, which may prioritize uniformity, Japanese pieces often celebrate the individuality of each item, reflecting the artist's hand and the firing process.
How should I care for artisan-made Japanese pottery?
Hand-wash pottery with mild soap and avoid extreme temperature changes (like placing hot items into cold water). Some unglazed pieces may absorb moisture, so allow them to fully dry before storing. Avoid microwaves or dishwashers unless the piece is specifically labeled as safe for such use.
