Using your favorite dishes makes cooking and eating more enjoyable. I love Japanese tableware and often look for beautiful dishes on Instagram and go to stores. Dishes handmade by artists are truly beautiful.

If you love Japanese utsuwa (potteries, ceramics, tableware) too, and would like to visit a store specializing in utsuwa, this article is perfect for you.

Here are some stores where you can find various types of utsuwa in the 5 Japanese Tableware Shops in Roppongi Area (Akasaka, Nishiazabu). Please take a look at them as a reference for your utsuwa selection.

Located near Tokyo Midtown in Roppongi, this is an old private house that has been renovated into a pottery store. They have the wide selection of Yachimun potteries. (Yachimun means “pottery” in the Okinawan dialect. The term refers to pottery such as tea bowls, rice bowls, bowls, and flatware still in daily use in Okinawan households.)

A famous pottery store is located near the Nishi-Azabu intersection. Ichiro Hirose, the owner of the store, opened the store with the idea of “offering items that I find beautiful and that I would like to use”. Although the location is not easy to find, it is fun to go there while strolling along Omotesando, Nezu Museum or Kotto-dori.
