Origami Matcha Bowl with Spout — Matte Black Japanese Katakuchi Chawan
Product Info
This Origami katakuchi chawan (spouted matcha bowl) is handcrafted in Japan from durable Restone ceramic and finished in a refined matte black glaze. Its rounded interior supports smooth whisking and foam development, while the integrated pouring lip enables controlled transfer of matcha into cups without drips. The restrained form and dark surface emphasise the vivid colour of matcha during preparation, combining contemporary Japanese design with practical tea-making functionality.

Why This Chawan Works So Well
A good chawan isn’t just beautiful — it’s shaped for whisking. The wide interior gives your bamboo whisk (chasen) room to move in a quick “W” motion, helping matcha mix smoothly and foam without splashing.
Each piece is handmade in Japan, so glaze flow, tone, and texture vary slightly. That natural variation is part of the appeal — and why each bowl feels personal in the hand.
