Typically used for serving noodle dishes such as ramen, soba, udon, and pho but can also be used for salads and hearty soups.
This bowl, with its impactful large diameter and upright shape that enhances the presentation even with less volume, is appreciated not only by providers but also by customers mindful of reducing salt intake.

Melamine products are a popular choice for busy restaurants when a highly durable, lightweight, well-insulated material is desired. Traditional clay-fired dishes are beautiful, to be sure. However, clay bowls will absorb and transfer the heat of whatever is contained within more quickly which can cause the food to lose its heat faster. Not only is melamine a better insulator, so the food stays warmer for longer, but it is also highly durable meaning it can withstand physical and thermal shocks that clay may not.
Fine dimples have been created on the surface of these bowls to replicate the look and feel of a traditional porcelain dish.
