This chawanmushi (Japanese steamed egg custard) bowl has a simple and modern design which looks great on any table. If you make chawanmushi with it, it will give you the authentic taste and atmosphere of a Japanese restaurant. When the lid is removed, it can also be used as a teacup.

Beloved since the Edo period (1603–1868 CE), the tokusa pattern of straight vertical lines is inspired by the Japanese plant tokusa, known in English as rough horsetail. It is regarded as a symbol of growth and prosperity as it grows unwaveringly upwards.
