FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
Usage How do I use this cup for the first time?

Before first use, rinse the cup thoroughly with warm water to remove any residual dust from transport from Japan. You can wash it with mild soap and a non-abrasive sponge. Dry it with a clean cloth or let it air dry. To condition the ceramic, fill the cup with hot water for a few minutes, then empty it. This step prepares the glaze and stabilizes the temperature for better tastings. Its light weight of 150 grams makes handling pleasant. You can then use it immediately for your favorite tea or coffee, enjoying its grip without the handle typical of traditional yunomi.

Care Is it dishwasher safe?

Yes, this Japanese ceramic cup is dishwasher safe thanks to its high-temperature firing and durable glaze. To best preserve the beige oat enamel’s shine, choose a gentle or medium cycle. Place the cup securely in the basket to avoid shocks during the cycle. Its lightness makes placement easy but requires care to prevent tipping. If you prefer hand washing to extend its lifespan, use a soft sponge with mild soap and warm water, then dry with a soft cloth. Always avoid abrasive products, pure vinegar, or metal sponges that could damage the surface.

Compatibility What types of drinks can I use it with?

This yunomi cup is perfectly versatile. It is ideally suited for Japanese green teas such as sencha, bancha, genmaicha, hojicha, or kukicha. Its 180 ml capacity matches traditional tasting portions.

Also compatible with hot chocolate, clear broths, consommés, or any hot or cold beverage. The neutral ceramic does not alter flavors and retains heat well. Its compact size encourages multiple fresh infusions rather than a large single quantity.

Durability How long does this cup last?

Traditional Japanese ceramics are renowned for their exceptional longevity. With proper care, this cup can last several decades. Japanese restaurants have used this type of ceramic for over 30 years under intensive professional conditions, proving its remarkable robustness.
