Umi Chawan - The Matcha Bowl

Your Chawan is crafted for everyday use, but like all good things, it thrives with care.

DO

• Warm it before use: Pour in hot water and let it sit briefly. This helps bring out the flavor of your matcha and protects the bowl from sudden temperature changes
• Rinse with warm water after each use—this keeps the glaze and surface in good condition
• Hand wash gently with a soft cloth or sponge
• Let it air dry completely before storing
• Use it regularly—over time, natural patterns called kannyu (crazing) may appear, adding unique character

DON’T

• Use harsh detergents, scouring pads, or soak it for long periods
• Put it in the dishwasher or microwave
• Stack with heavy items that may scratch or chip the glaze

Each Chawan is made with intention. Small marks and variations are part of its story—no two are exactly the same. Treat it with care, and it will age beautifully alongside your ritual.
