This small plate is finished in Nezumi Shino, characterized by its soft gray glaze that gently envelops the surface, creating a subtle beauty and understated elegance. The form is simple yet possesses a quiet presence.
Distinct from the sakura-pink-toned Shino ware, its pale gray color blends naturally with any cuisine, enhancing the natural colors and textures of the ingredients while harmonizing beautifully with a wide range of table settings.

The tiny holes that appear on the thick glaze, known as “pinholes,” are a defining characteristic of this piece. Shaped by the artisan’s hand, the Shino glaze evokes a quiet, rustic charm, while the clean, minimalist form enhances its expressive qualities, bringing a refined elegance to the dining experience.

The plate is ideally sized for appetizers, side dishes, and desserts, making it perfect for everyday use. It complements not only traditional Japanese fare but also European dishes, presenting cakes and fresh fruit with equal elegance.
When entertaining guests, it serves equally well as a sharing plate, bringing a sense of cohesion and understated balance to the table.
