抹茶碗
Japanese Midnight Blue Mini Chawan Matcha Tea Bowl
Regular priceA matcha bowl, also known as a chawan, is a wide, deep bowl traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies to prepare and drink matcha, a powdered green tea. The design of the matcha bowl is specifically crafted to facilitate whisking and drinking matcha comfortably. Here are some key features and uses of a matcha bowl:
- Wide Mouth: The bowl's wide opening allows room for whisking matcha powder with a bamboo whisk (chasen) without spilling, ensuring a smooth, frothy texture.
- Depth: The depth of the bowl helps hold enough liquid while providing space for the matcha powder to be mixed properly with hot water.
- Ceramic Material: Matcha bowls are often made from ceramic, giving them a sturdy feel and excellent heat retention, which enhances the matcha drinking experience.
- Varied Designs: Matcha bowls can come in various shapes, colors, and glazes, often reflecting the seasons or a specific aesthetic. Some may have rustic, natural finishes, while others might feature intricate patterns.
In the context of the Japanese tea ceremony, the matcha bowl is not only functional but also a key aesthetic element, embodying simplicity, beauty, and mindfulness. Holding the chawan in both hands while drinking emphasizes the appreciation of the moment and the tea itself.

"The Philosophy of Tea is not mere aestheticism ... for it expresses conjointly with ethics and religion our whole point of view about man and nature. It is hygiene, for it enforces cleanliness; it is economics, for it shows comfort in simplicity rather than in the complex and costly; it is moral geometry, inasmuch as it defines our sense of proportion to the universe." - Kakuzo Okakura
