Technical details
Large Handcrafted Matcha Bowl, 550ml
This large black chawan is a handcrafted Japanese-style ceramic matcha bowl with a generous 550ml capacity, designed for whisking matcha the traditional way. The wide, open shape gives your chasen plenty of room to move. Made from ceramic, it is intended for hot beverages. Hand wash is recommended to preserve the glaze and finish over time. Each piece is handcrafted, so slight variations in color and texture are part of the charm, not a defect.
The Benefit
Your Matcha Finally Gets the Space It Deserves
Between you and me, trying to whisk matcha in a small mug is a losing battle. This large ceramic matcha bowl gives you real room to work, so your chasen can do its job properly and you actually get that lovely froth on top. It changes the whole experience, dear. Suddenly your morning matcha ritual feels intentional, calm, and a little bit special. That matters more than people admit.
Craft & Materials
A Handcrafted Ceramic Bowl Built to Last
This chawan is made from ceramic and finished in a deep, matte black glaze that looks beautiful on any counter, mind you. At 550ml, it is generously sized, which is exactly the point for traditional matcha preparation. Because each bowl is handcrafted, no two are perfectly identical. A small variation in the glaze or shape just means yours is truly one of a kind. That is not a flaw, honey, that is character.
In Use
Whisk, Breathe, Sip From a Real Matcha Bowl
Picture this: you sift your matcha into the bowl, add your hot water, and your chasen has all the space it needs to whisk in those smooth, easy circles. No splashing, no cramped wrist, no matcha on the counter. The wide base keeps everything stable while you work. Then you wrap both hands around that warm ceramic and take the first sip. Well now, that is what a proper matcha morning looks like.
Everyday Proof
Wide Enough to Whisk, Easy Enough to Love Daily
The real test of any matcha bowl is whether you reach for it every single morning without thinking twice. The 550ml size means you are never fighting for space with your chasen, and the ceramic holds heat nicely while you take your time. Hand washing takes thirty seconds. Let me tell you, a bowl this straightforward to care for is one you will actually keep using, not one that ends up at the back of the cupboard.

FAQ
Your Questions About This Matcha Bowl, Answered
Is 550ml really the right size for a matcha bowl?
It is on the generous side, and that is the whole point, believe me. A larger chawan gives your chasen room to whisk properly without splashing. You do not have to fill it to the brim, but having that space makes the whisking technique so much easier, especially if you are still getting the hang of it.
Can I use this bowl for drinks other than matcha?
The bowl is designed for matcha preparation in the traditional chawan style, but its 550ml ceramic build makes it perfectly suited for any hot beverage you enjoy in a wide, open vessel. It is a tea bowl at heart, so use it for what feels right to you.
How do I take care of this ceramic matcha bowl?
Hand washing is recommended to keep the black glaze looking its best over time. Nothing complicated, just a gentle wash after each use. Avoid harsh scrubbing pads that could dull the finish. It is a simple routine that takes seconds and keeps your bowl in good shape for years.
Will my bowl look exactly like the one in the photos?
Because each chawan is handcrafted, there will be slight natural variations in the glaze color, texture, and shape from one bowl to the next. That is the nature of handmade ceramic work. Your bowl will be very close to what you see, but uniquely yours, which is rather the point of choosing handcrafted over mass-produced.
Does this bowl come with a whisk or any other accessories?
No, the set includes the ceramic matcha bowl only. No chasen or other accessories are included. If you are new to matcha, make sure you have a bamboo whisk on hand before you start. The bowl is ready to go, but it does need a good whisk to do its job properly.

How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you receive an email with your tracking number and a link to follow the delivery in real time.
Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.
Can I use the same teapot for different teas?
You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.
