A plate for curry that combines generous expression with functionality.
We created this plate in collaboration with Yamaguchi Pottery in Komono-cho, Mie Prefecture, which carries on the Banko-yaki tradition, to make it easy to serve curry and enjoyable to eat.
Banko-yaki is pottery born from free thinking, unbound by firing methods or forms. Please also enjoy its generous expression.

A shape that's easy to plate and easy to scoop
We've adopted the classic oval shape typical of curry plates, offering two colors: a rich amber that conveys warmth and a simple, versatile white. By raising the rim of the plate vertically, we've created a shape that makes it easy to scoop up every last grain of rice. The rim is also easy to grip, and spillage is minimized.
Banko-yaki pottery that began in the Edo period and is rooted in Mie Prefecture
Banko-yaki pottery is passed down in and around Yokkaichi City and Komono Town in Mie Prefecture. It is said to have begun in the mid-Edo period when Numami Rozan, a wealthy merchant from Kuwana, opened a kiln as an extension of his tea ceremony interests. Today, it remains a major center for Japanese tableware production, creating a diverse range of products including earthenware pots, dishes, vases, and ornamental objects. Made from semi-porcelain that has intermediate properties between soft ceramic and high-strength porcelain, it is also characterized by its heat resistance.
