Chawanmushi Bowl with Lid - Moon Rabbit / 茶碗蒸し碗

Chawanmushi (茶碗蒸し), meaning “steamed in a tea bowl,” is a silky, savoury custard that has been enjoyed in Japan for centuries. Made with a delicate blend of eggs, dashi, soy sauce, and mirin, it is often enriched with prawns, chicken, mushrooms, or ginkgo nuts. Unlike other Japanese egg dishes, it is eaten warm with a spoon rather than chopsticks, its comforting texture making it beloved by all generations. Traditionally served at family gatherings, festive occasions, or as part of a kaiseki course, Chawanmushi embodies Japanese hospitality through its gentle taste and nourishing qualities.

The Moon Rabbit Chawanmushi Bowl brings folklore to the table, with rabbits leaping under the moonlight in vivid indigo. In Japanese culture, rabbits are linked to the autumn harvest and the moon-viewing festival (Tsukimi), making this piece particularly suited to festive gatherings and storytelling meals. The rounded lid helps preserve the custard’s delicate flavour during steaming, while the playful design adds warmth and charm. Both practical and poetic, this bowl is a reminder that dining can be as much about imagination as taste.

As every piece has its handmade feature, slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product.
