-Characteristics
The rim is often slightly wider to make it easier to serve rice. This shape improves holding and eating comfort.
Rice bowls are usually moderately deep. This makes it easier to hold and prevents rice from spilling.
The bottom has a foot called a kodai, which stabilizes the bowl and makes it easier to hold. The kodai also makes it easier to hold the bowl when lifting it.
-Size
The size varies depending on the household and purpose, but generally bowls with a diameter of about 10 cm to 12 cm and a height of about 5 cm to 7 cm are used.
Rice bowls are an essential part of Japanese food culture, and their shape and design add to the enjoyment of eating.
