Skillfully Incorporating Seasonal Side Dishes

Dishwasher Compatible

Echizen Hard Lacquer, developed through various experiments, uses 100% natural lacquer without any synthetic chemical coatings, yet is dishwasher safe.

RIN&CO.'s flat urushi bowl changes the image that "lacquerware is difficult to handle." Please use it casually, just like your other tableware.

Doesn't Get Too Hot to Hold

Lacquerware has low thermal conductivity, so the vessel doesn't easily become hot even when filled with hot food. Even when serving piping hot stew or soup, you won't have the problem of the bowl being too hot to hold!

Brushwork Shows Craftsman's Commitment and Functionality

Looking closely at the surface of the flat bowl, you can see brush stroke lines. In fact, these brush strokes help conceal the small scratches that often concern people with lacquerware.

While Echizen hard lacquer has a hard surface that's difficult to scratch and highly durable, small surface scratches can still occur due to the nature of lacquerware. However, the brush strokes make small scratches less visible, allowing for casual everyday use without being overly concerned about minor details.
