Mino-yaki Earthenware

Mino-yaki earthenware is specialty pottery produced in the Mino Region (around current Toki City) of Gifu prefecture which began in the 7th century. Mino-yaki continues to adapt to modern lifestyles while preserving its history and tradition. One of the signature characteristics of Mino-yaki earthenware is its diversity. Mino-yaki does not adhere to a single form, as it has over 15 registered types of traditional handicraft in Japan.

Ao-Yu Rice Bowl

The Ao-Yu Rice Bowl, a stunning example of Mino-yaki craftsmanship, features a beautiful and elegant blue color with a textured exterior. This bowl is not only perfect for serving rice but also for soup, side dish, etc. The vibrant blue glaze and the fine texture make each piece a standout addition to any table setting, reflecting the meticulous artistry of Zoho-Gama. Pair it with the Akamaki Rice Bowl for a beautiful complementary set that enhances your table's aesthetic.

Due to its handcrafted nature, each Zoho-Gama earthenware piece is truly one of a kind, with variations in color, shades, and glaze that add to its unique charm. Exemplifying the brand’s dedication to artisanal craftsmanship, each piece embodies the wabi-sabi aesthetic, offering a unique and functional piece for your dining experience.
