Tokoname Yuzamashi / Matcha Bowl with Spout - Charcoal Black / 湯冷まし

The Yuzamashi is a traditional tool designed to cool boiling water to the perfect temperature before pouring it into a teapot. When water is transferred into the Yuzamashi, its temperature decreases by 5 to 10 degrees. Repeating this process allows you to enjoy tea brewed at the ideal temperature for the tea leaves.

Recently, the Yuzamashi has gained popularity as a container for preparing matcha, especially when enjoying it in a mug. Its single spout ensures easy pouring into glasses or mugs, making it both functional and convenient.
