"Kinoko" means Mushroom in Japanese. Each cup is hand-thrown and trimmed by 14th generation Ceramist Mr. Kajiwara at Yamamaru.
The infamous signature "tobikanna" (chattering pattern) of Koishwara-ware was minimally applied to the mushroom cap. Koishiwara artisan takes pride and respect local natural material, which nurtures the 350-year-old craft tradition.
This cup is perfect for a cortado or macchiato, also great for pudding, ice-cream, or the popular Japanese "chawan mushi" savory steamed egg custard.
A bit smaller than the American standard-size coffee mug, so check the dimensions first!
Our KINOKO muchrooms now come in 3 different colors; Beige, Black and Pink. Choose your favorite!
