Mino Ware: Functional Charm from the Heart of Japan

Mino ware is one of Japan’s most widely used ceramic traditions, with a history dating back over 1,300 years in what is now Gifu Prefecture. Unlike other pottery styles bound to a single aesthetic, Mino ware evolved to suit daily life—spanning everything from tea ceremony bowls to ramen-sized donburi. It gained prominence in the Momoyama period, particularly under the influence of tea masters and feudal lords who encouraged bold experimentation with glaze and form.

Today, Mino ware makes up roughly half of all ceramic tableware produced in Japan. Its appeal lies in its versatility and tactility: smooth or textured, neutral or vivid, traditional or modern. Mino ware’s beauty is approachable, shaped to serve—found in ramen shops, home kitchens, and now tables around the world. Whether rustic or refined, each piece reflects the quiet, practical elegance of Japanese dining culture.

Brand History

Kanesho Toki is a Mino ware tableware maker based in Gifu Prefecture, known for creating ceramic pieces that blend simplicity, usability, and design. The company specializes in ramen bowl and spoon sets that celebrate the pleasure of everyday meals.

Each piece is thoughtfully designed and carefully produced, balancing weight, shape, and finish to elevate the ordinary act of eating. Their bowls are wide-mouthed and generous, perfect for noodle dishes, while the matching spoons offer a comforting balance in the hand. The color palettes are neutral and modern, often inspired by natural stone or earth tones, with soft matte or subtly glazed finishes.

Rather than imitate ornate tradition, Kanesho Toki leans into quiet, modern craftsmanship—producing tableware that feels warm, familiar, and made to last. It’s a contemporary expression of Mino ware: grounded in centuries of ceramic practice, but designed for how we eat now.
