Owner's Comment

This plate is ideal for salads or grilled fish, thanks to its convenient size.

The slightly raised edges make it suitable for dishes with light sauces or dressings.

In Japanese dining, plates measuring approximately 18 cm (around 7.1 inches) are some of the most versatile and frequently used tableware items.
