KATAKUCHI Matcha Bowl is a Matcha bowl with a pour spout. Kata means one side and Kuchi means spout. Thus, a bowl with a spout on only one side is called KATAKUCHI.
KATAKUCHI can be used to whisk Matcha for several people at the same time and pour it into different cups. When making a Matcha latte, it is convenient to pour the Matcha into the milk after it has been whisked in this bowl.
The bottom of the bowl is rounded, which makes it easy to whisk even a large amount of Matcha. It has a gently curved shape from the bottom to the top for easy pouring. And because it is lightweight, it is easy to hold even when pouring a large amount of Matcha. These calculated forms are created by artisans who carefully handcraft each item, one by one.
SABI means rust, and AO means blue in Japanese. SABI AO is a shade of AO, a blue tinged with melancholy. The SABI in its name suggests an artful patina that lends AO subtle complexity, defining it as a grayish blue that feels ancient and tranquil. The unique, grayish blue of this color is created using a black glaze called TEMOKU YU. This glaze contains a rich amount of iron, giving this bowl a unique beauty.
The outstanding craftsmanship and beautiful design of the KATAKUCHI Matcha Bowl will make you want to display it in your home. The interplay between modern design and WABI-SABI colors creates a unique charm in which novelty and nostalgia coexist.
