The pared-back white surface lets the form itself — and the color of the tea — take center stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe katakuchi solves a simple problem in matcha preparation: sharing beyond a single bowl. Where a traditional chawan makes pouring imprecise, the katakuchi's subtle spout allows matcha to be poured cleanly into smaller cups, minimizing waste and keeping the tea intact. It's especially suited for serving matcha to more than one person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe interior offers enough room for proper whisking, while the spout brings precision and intention to the pour. Beyond matcha, it also works as a yuzamashi (water-cooling vessel) pour hot water in, let it cool to temperature, then transfer to your teapot, a common step when brewing Japanese green teas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHandcrafted in the Shitoro-yaki tradition of Shizuoka, Japan — a 900-year-old pottery lineage — by Rito Aoshima, a second-generation potter continuing his father's studio and Noborigama (rising kiln) practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOrigin: Shizuoka, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTradition: Shitoro-yaki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePotter: Rito Aoshima, 2nd generation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eKiln: Noborigama (rising kiln)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDimensions: 5.5\" diameter x 2.5\" height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCapacity: Holds up to 10 fl oz (300ml); ~3 fl oz (90ml) recommended for whisking matcha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMaterial: Ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCare: Hand wash only.
