Arita Ware Plate | Hoval – Ho-Obaru | Hana Manreki | Shobido

Easy-to-Scoop Oval Plate
Hoval – Ho-Obaru
This is the “Hana Manreki” design from the Hoval series.

The name Hoval (Ho-Obaru) is inspired by the Japanese word hoobaru meaning “to savor mouthfuls of delicious food” and the word “oval,” reflecting both its enjoyable dining experience and its elegant oval shape.

Perfectly sized for a single serving of curry or pasta, or for sharing salads among several people, this versatile plate fits seamlessly into everyday meals. The inner rim has a gentle “lip” that makes scooping food easier.

The Hana Manreki design features hand-painted red patterns that stand out beautifully against white porcelain, adding a refined elegance to your table.

This is an original product from the “Kishen” brand by Shobido Honten.
