I ordered a few sets of these chopsticks as Christmas gifts for my friends and family and I HAD to take a peek when they arrived today. They came in a sophisticated-looking box which displays them nicely. Shipping was very fast and even though the outer box was a little rough from the international travel, the padding inside ensured that the chopstick boxes were unmarred. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there is a subtle texture to the ends of the chopsticks, which probably enhances grip on foods. And the tops are so pretty! Now I'm mad I forgot to order a set for myself.

I always want to buy this kind of assorted small bowls/plates for my Japanese side dishes/appetizers. I just love the design at frist sight, with good size which I could use not only side dishes but also dessert and small dishes with sauce. Love the design, each small bowls is different inside and out.

The packaging is very nice and with protective wrapper which you could see how Japanese pay attention to details and assure your beautiful tablewares will hand on you safely.

The set of 5 plates comes packed in a beautiful wooden gift box and will make an excellent gift to any Japanese home-cooked food enthusiast. I love how each design of the serving dish is also different. The gold trimmings add a touch of sophistication to any accompanying tableware too!

I bought these serving bowls to serve side dishes in Miwa's cooking class as part of her Ichiju Sansai meal concept. The artwork is extremely delicate and I can't help but to hold the bowl in my hand and admire the intricate paintwork. Each bowl has a unique design and matches a lot of her other tableware superbly.

Finding small plates outside Japan for side dishes that add to the aesthetic is harder than it seems, with lower price dishes often looking cheap, and genuine Japanese tableware being incredibly expensive. These plates are just the solution I was looking for - they're priced right, look incredible and you can tell they're quality as soon as you unwrap them. The care Miwa has taken in sourcing and selecting these dishes, all the way through to delivering them in beautiful wrapping is incredible, you absolutely can't go wrong with these

Dining is always about more than the food - the sights, smells, textures, everything plays a part in making an experience. Dining with these beautiful bowls elevates every experience, being able to appreciate the flavors and the beautiful craftsmanship really rounds things out and makes you feel like you're sitting in a cozy spot in Japan enjoying a bowl of delicious rice or fragrant miso soup. Anyone who wants a genuine experience of beautiful craftsmanship and a way to transport yourself to Japan when you sit down for a meal shouldn't go past these bowls, I hope to keep them for many years to come!
