Ale-net Sakura Unofu Matcha Bowl - 450ml - Pink

The Ale-net Sakura Unofu Matcha Bowl is a traditional Japanese tea bowl (chawan) crafted for preparing and serving matcha. A textured pink and white unofu glaze with a speckled matte finish covers the exterior and interior, while an organically shaped, uneven rim gives each piece a distinct handcrafted character.

The wide 12.6cm diameter and rounded base provide ample space for a bamboo whisk to aerate matcha powder and water efficiently. Made from Mino ware porcelain in Japan, each bowl carries slight natural variations in glaze and shape that make it uniquely its own.
