Kayori Matcha Bowl – Kyoto Green

Made in Kyoto by T. Nishikawa & Co., this bowl is part of the Kayori collection — a line of small, handcrafted tea bowls made to fit naturally in your hand.

The Kyoto Green bowl follows the Oribe Hakeme style, where a rich green glaze is brushed gently over an ivory base. The blend of colours reflects the calm of Kyoto’s moss gardens and the harmony of traditional Japanese design. Each bowl is shaped and glazed by hand, giving it its own character and warmth.

Steps to get your bowl ready:

1 - Rinse with warm water and dry with a soft cloth before first use.

2 - Allow it to air dry completely.

3 - Warm the bowl gently with hot water before preparing matcha.

4 - Avoid pouring boiling water directly into a cold bowl.
