{"product_id":"en-円-katakuchi-chawan","title":"Katakuchi 片口 — Shitoro-yaki by Rito Aoshima","description":"\u003cp\u003eA spouted matcha bowl by Rito Aoshima — a second-generation potter working in the Shitoro-yaki tradition of Shizuoka, a style with over 900 years of history. His studio was built around a noborigama rising kiln, fired at extreme temperatures that give each piece its depth and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe katakuchi form solves a practical problem elegantly. Unlike a traditional chawan, the subtle spout allows matcha to be poured cleanly into smaller cups or shared between vessels — minimizing waste and preserving the integrity of the tea. It also doubles as a yuzamashi, cooling hot water to the precise temperature needed before brewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep matte black glaze — rich and uneven in the way only hand-firing can produce — makes every piece entirely its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin: Shizuoka, Japan\u003cbr\u003eTradition: Shitoro-yaki\u003cbr\u003ePotter: Rito Aoshima, 2nd generation\u003cbr\u003eKiln: Noborigama (rising kiln)\u003cbr\u003eCapacity: 300ml \/ 10 oz\u003cbr\u003eRecommended for matcha: 90ml \/ 3 oz\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 5.5\" diameter · 2.5\" height\u003cbr\u003eCare: Hand wash only.
