It is made by traditional handwork in Sado Island, Niigata Prefecture, by making use of straws after harvesting rice.
It changes over time, into a profound dark brown. How about some warmth of a handmade product on your everyday dining table?
My partner and I were amazed at how well everything were packaged. All of the items are bubble wrapped and we are very happy with the products.
Thank you for providing this service, we are already planning for our next purchase.

I was taking advantage of strong USD to Japanese ¥, and I am glad I did order many things! :-)
Everything arrived in less than anticipated time frame for delivery and is in perfect condition due to the efficiently and meticulously packed merchandise! I am still mesmerized how efficient Japanese way of packing so many items in this box with no space wasted, yet it is so obvious that it was done with TLC so nothing is damaged! I learned as I unpacked! Everybody needs to learn packing like Japanese! :-)
Opening the package was a great pleasure with a sense of anticipation and mystery even though I knew what I ordered. You could feel the TLC when unwrapping each item like it is coming from a good friend!
I felt confident as always ordering beautiful products from Shokunin, as they are of good quality which will last a long time if I take care of them well and hope could extend their life to the next generation. I kept telling my son that he would inherit those beautiful items ;-). Wish I could get everything they offer..:-).

I'm very happy with all the products, I'm super impressed with the packaging, all the protection your team has done to ensure the bowls and containers to reach my hands safely, i'm truly impressed. I have read the reviews on your website that your team would pack everything nicely, so I didn't need to worry anything about the products not being in a good shape. Previously I have tried purchasing japanese ceramics from Rakuten, getting it shipped to Hong Kong by a forwarding company, unfortunately, quite a lot of them were broken.
The products are of exceptional quality, the Donburi bowl is such a beauty, the size is just the right size for a bowl of noodles, or a big bowl of soup! the smaller bowl is also super handy, sometimes i will use them as a rice bowl, or holding small dishes.
The straw pot stand is nicely made, I love the straw smell, and the S size suits so many pots and oven dishes!
The enamel containers, they are very handy kitchen tools, especially with the lids!
The peeler is also of superb quality!
I'm super pleased with all the products, and I'm eagerly looking forward to be shopping in Shokunin.com again, and hope Shokunin.com can sell more ceramics products from Japanese ceramist!!

*As each product is made by hand, the width of the circle may differ. Further, the latch in the inside may appear in rare cases. There also may be ruins of fire made during the process of burning off unnecessary straws. We kindly ask for your understanding.
