Neagari Kabu - Turnip Design Cup
Introduce a charming piece of Japanese culinary art to your table with our Neagari Kabu Sobachoko. This delightful soba cup combines traditional functionality with a whimsical design, making it a perfect addition to both casual meals and special occasions.
The name "Neagari Kabu" (根上りかぶ) refers to the turnip motif featured on the cup, with "ne" meaning root and "agari" suggesting growth or rising. "Sobachoko" (そば猪口) is the traditional term for a small cup used for serving soba noodle dipping sauce, though its uses can be varied.
This sobachoko boasts a vibrant red exterior that serves as a striking backdrop for the simple yet elegant turnip design. The turnip is depicted in white outlines with soft green leaves, creating a beautiful contrast against the red background. The interior of the cup is a clean, creamy white, perfect for showcasing the colors of various sauces or small dishes.
Crafted from high-quality ceramic, this cup offers a perfect balance of aesthetics and functionality. Its shape is designed to fit comfortably in the hand, enhancing the dining experience whether you're using it for soba sauce, small side dishes, or even as a unique sake cup.
The turnip design is not just decorative but also symbolic in Japanese culture, often associated with good fortune and prosperity. This makes the Neagari Kabu Sobachoko not just a practical item, but also a charming good luck charm for your table.
