Artisan-carved in Japan・Good Design Award Winner・Environment Friendly
A Beloved, Award-Winning Design for Modern Comfort
This isn’t just a bowl—it’s a piece of Japanese design heritage that brings warmth, comfort, and quiet beauty to your everyday table. A long-selling favorite, this sakura wood bowl has earned both the Good Design Award (1996) and the Long Life Design Award (2021), honoring its timeless form, usability, and enduring craftsmanship.
Hand-carved one by one in Odawara, Japan
The bowl is carved with uncompromising care by artisans in Odawara, a city famous for its traditional wood craftsmanship.
- Premium Japanese Sakura Wood: Each bowl is meticulously ragted from locally sourced cherry wood that has been air-dried for about six months.
- A True Artisan’s Spirit: The artisans even hand-forge the tools they useto bring out the natural beauty of the wood. Every bowl carries the spirit and intention of its maker.
- The Beauty of the Grain: Sakura wood is prized for its silky texture and gentle, warm grain. Look closely and you’ll notice subtle pinkish tones—like cherry blossoms hidden within the wood itself.
More Than Just a Miso Soup Bowl
Slightly larger than typical wooden miso bowls, this piece is wonderfully versatile!
- Individual servings from a hot pot
- Small donburi
- Nuts and snacks
It’s the kind of bowl that naturally becomes a daily favorite.
How to Care for Your Sakura Bowl
To ensure its longevity and beauty, please follow these simple care instructions:
- Hand-wash gently with a soft sponge and mild detergent.
- Wipe dry immediately after rinsing and let it air-dry completely.
Please avoid: Dishwashers, prolonged soaking and microwave ovens.

めいぼく椀 桜
1996年にグッドデザイン賞を受賞し、2021年にはロングライフデザイン賞も受賞したロングセラー製品のめいぼく椀を日本から取り寄せました!
めいぼく椀の特長は、日本の自然の森の木を約6ヶ月間乾燥させ、一つ一つ丁寧に削っていること。桜のめいぼく椀は、葉っぱの緑と花火路のピンク色が木目に感じられるだけでなく、肌触りもとってもなめらか。一つ一つ木目が違うことによる風合いの違いが楽しめて、小田原の職人の腕を感じます。普通のお椀よりもやや大きめなので、お味噌汁以外にも、お鍋の取り分けにも大活躍です。
