◆A wooden bowl with no two pieces alike◆ The "Meiboku-wan" (precious wood bowl) from Sonobe Sangyo boasts the beauty of natural wood grain and a gentle shape that fits comfortably in the hand. Made using only wood harvested during the winter of that year, each wooden bowl is carefully crafted one by one by Japanese artisans. In addition to its beautiful shape, wood grain, and texture, it enhances the taste of everyday home-cooked meals and is exceptionally easy to use. A masterpiece that won the Good Design Award in 1996, it is one of our long-selling items. "Keyaki" (Japanese zelkova) is a tree species that has long been considered a fine wood in Japan, known for its hardness, strength, and outstanding qualities. It is a material that can be used to make sturdy bowls and trays, and has been used in Odawara for a long time. The raw timber is felled during its dormant winter period when it has little moisture before budding in the spring, and is immediately milled. It is then carefully dried before processing. The natural wood grain is unique to each piece, and the texture is smooth to the touch. The rounded, gentle shape fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, making it so pleasant to hold in both hands forever. It's a testament to the craftsman's meticulous work. Furthermore, the fact that it doesn't get hot to the touch even when filled with warm items, making it easy to hold, is a benefit unique to wood. The thickness increases towards the bottom, and
It is very sturdily made. The slightly curved rim makes it easy to grip and has a pleasant feel against the lips. The moderately raised base provides stability when holding it. As a basic staple, it enhances the deliciousness of various dishes, both Japanese and Western, such as soups, salads, rice, and desserts. Because the color and grain differ depending on the part of the wood used, no two are exactly alike, so please enjoy the warmth and character that only natural materials can offer. Zelkova wood is available in five sizes: large, medium, small, large, and extra-large. It is a long-lasting item that you will want to use with your children as a family. It is also recommended as a gift for someone special.
