This sauce plate features the shape and painting of mallet of lucky, which is said to bring luck to whom shakes it. It is one of the treasures that appear in Japanese narratives and old stories.

Perfectly sized as a sauce plate, it is also versatile enough to serve cheese, nuts, condiments, and other small bites. You can also use it to hold a small portion of food or relishes, placing it on a larger plate or inside a bento box for a more stylish and refined presentation.
