At 8 in (20.3 cm) wide and 3.3 in (8.4 cm) high, the Shu-iro Mino Ware Ramen Bowl gives noodles, broth, rice, and toppings generous room while retaining a balanced individual-serving size.

Shu-iro Mino Ware Ramen Bowl – Vermilion Red, 8 in
$59.00
Vermilion Mino ware with real firing character
Product Description
The Shu-iro Ramen Bowl is a generously sized Mino ware bowl with a deep vermilion-red finish and darker firing variation across the surface. At approximately 8 in in diameter × 3.3 in high (20.3 × 8.4 cm), it gives ramen, udon, soba, rice dishes, and generous toppings enough room without feeling oversized on the table.
The appeal is in the surface rather than perfect uniformity. The red glaze develops subtle changes in tone and firing character, so individual bowls may show small differences in color and texture. A verified MJW customer specifically praised the bowl’s weight, color, and firing variations.
Weighing approximately 1.1 lb (500 g), the bowl has a reassuring presence while remaining practical for everyday meals. Its wide opening makes toppings easy to arrange and gives broth-based dishes a strong visual frame.
Made in Japan within the Mino ware tradition of Gifu Prefecture, the Shu-iro is sold individually, making it easy to buy one statement bowl or build a matching pair or set over time.
Finish: Vermilion red with natural firing variation
Origin: Gifu Prefecture, Japan

Care instructions
Hand wash with warm water, mild detergent, and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners and hard scouring pads. Do not use in the microwave or dishwasher. Dry thoroughly before storing and protect the rim from knocks.
Artisan & Craft
Mino ware is produced in Gifu Prefecture and is known for its wide range of forms, glazes, and firing effects rather than one single visual style. The Shu-iro bowl reflects that breadth through its practical ramen-bowl proportions and expressive vermilion surface, where small differences in tone and firing character are part of the appeal.
Note
Minor differences in glaze tone, surface texture, and firing marks may occur from bowl to bowl. These variations are characteristic of the ceramic firing process and are part of the Shu-iro bowl’s individual appearance.
Questions About This Piece
What is this bowl best suited for?
Its 8 in (20.3 cm) diameter and 3.3 in (8.4 cm) height make it well suited to ramen, udon, soba, rice dishes, and other generous one-bowl meals.
Will every bowl look exactly the same?
No. Minor differences in glaze tone, texture, and firing marks can occur from piece to piece. These variations are part of the ceramic firing process.
Is it sold as a set?
No. The Shu-iro is sold as one individual bowl, so you can buy a single piece or build a pair or larger set over time.
Is it microwave or dishwasher safe?
We recommend hand washing and avoiding microwave and dishwasher use. Wash with mild detergent and a soft sponge, then dry thoroughly.
Mino ware · Gifu, Japan
Mino ware: 1,300 years of ceramic innovation
Mino ware comes from the Tono region of Gifu Prefecture, one of Japan's most important ceramic-producing areas. Over centuries, kilns in the region developed a remarkable range of styles, from restrained Shino and Oribe pieces tied to tea culture to everyday tableware for modern Japanese homes. Rather than being defined by a single look, Mino ware is known for that diversity. A ceramic tradition that has continued to evolve with the way people actually live and eat.
Mino ware, or Minoyaki, is the broad ceramic
tradition associated with the Mino region of
present-day Gifu Prefecture. Rather than describing
one fixed aesthetic, the name encompasses ceramics
with a wide range of forms, glazes and decorative
approaches developed across the region over more
than 1,300 years.
Why is Mino ware so diverse?
Mino developed as a large ceramic-producing region
rather than around one narrowly defined style.
Generations of potters experimented with different
clays, firing methods, shapes and glazes, creating
a tradition in which rustic tea wares, expressive
glazes and practical everyday tableware can all
belong to the same ceramic family.
What are Shino and Oribe?
Shino and Oribe are two of the best-known ceramic
traditions associated with Mino. Shino is celebrated
for its soft white glaze, subtle texture and often
understated decoration, while Oribe is known for
expressive forms and distinctive green, black and
painted surfaces. Together with Kiseto and Setoguro,
they are closely associated with the celebrated
Momoyama-period tea ceramics of the Mino region.
Where is Mino ware made?
Mino ware is produced primarily in the Tōnō area
of eastern Gifu Prefecture, including major ceramic
centres such as Tajimi, Toki and Mizunami.
The region remains one of Japan's most important
centres of ceramic and tableware production today.
