1. Design & Aesthetic Features
• Tokusa Pattern : The striking blue vertical lines radiating from the center represent the "Tokusa" (十草, Japanese horsetail)
motif, a timeless and classic pattern in traditional Japanese tableware.
• Flower-Shaped Rim : The wavy, scalloped rim creates a beautiful, petal-like silhouette when viewed from above.
The edges are lined with a subtle brown iron glaze, adding a rustic yet refined contrast.
2. Size & Practical Applications
• Dimensions : It measures 3.5"D x 1.65"H (approximately 8.9 cm in diameter and 4.2 cm in height).
• Deep Dipping Bowl : Thanks to its 1.65-inch depth, it is much more versatile than flat sauce dishes,
easily holding liquids and semi-solid condiments.
• Recommended Uses:• Sauces & Dips : Perfect for dumpling soy sauce, ponzu, katsu sauce, or a dollop of wasabi.
• Japanese Side Dishes (Kobachi) : Ideal for serving single portions of pickled vegetables
(tsukemono), rakkyo (pickled leek), or sushi ginger.
• Korean Side Dishes (Banchan) : Great for small, flavorful sides such as salted seafood
(jeotgal) or pickled garlic/plums.
