Rustic Japanese Teacup with Soba-Ami Pattern

Immerse yourself in the rustic charm of traditional Japanese pottery with our Sobakaki Yunomi teacup. This unique piece showcases the timeless beauty of the soba-ami (そば網) pattern, a design inspired by the nets used to drain soba noodles.

The name "Sobakaki" (そば掻き) refers to the act of scooping soba noodles, while "Yunomi" (湯呑) is the Japanese term for a teacup without a handle. This combination perfectly encapsulates the cup's dual nature - a nod to both tea and soba culture in Japan.

Crafted by skilled artisans, this yunomi features a muted, earthy glaze that serves as the perfect backdrop for the bold soba-ami pattern. The diamond-shaped grid is carefully etched into the surface, creating a tactile and visual experience that enhances your tea-drinking ritual.

The cup's rustic appearance is characterized by its slightly irregular shape and the natural variations in the glaze, embodying the wabi-sabi aesthetic that celebrates imperfection and transience. These subtle irregularities make each cup a unique piece of art.

The sturdy form and comfortable size make this yunomi ideal for everyday use, whether you're enjoying green tea, hojicha, or even a small serving of sake. Its versatility extends beyond beverages - it can also be used as a charming vessel for small side dishes or as a decorative item in your home.

Whether you're a tea enthusiast, a lover of Japanese ceramics, or someone who appreciates functional art, this Sobakaki Yunomi will be a cherished addition to your collection. It's not just a teacup, but a piece that connects you to centuries of Japanese culinary and artistic tradition with every use.
