This tableware is appealing for its gentle, earthy texture and the warm, carefully hand-drawn patterns on each piece.

Versatile for everything from main dishes to side dishes

The oval plates by Junko Kanari are versatile for a wide range of everyday meals, perfect for single-plate dishes like pasta, curry, and omurice, as well as serving grilled fish, fried chicken, salads, and side dishes. Their moderate depth and gentle oval shape naturally enhance the food.
