I gave this to a friend for their 60th birthday. I'm glad they were so pleased.

I bought this for my husband's birthday. The wrapping was careful and the rice bowl is beautiful; I couldn't ask for more. My husband was delighted, and for my birthday he gave me exactly the same rice bowl, so we ended up with a matching pair! Thank you so much.

I ordered it shortly before my mother's birthday, and it was delivered properly in time, which moved me. Thanks to that, my mother was pleased with it as a surprise. Thank you very much.

A woman I'd become close to was retiring at 60, so a group of us women from the department gave her this rice bowl. The deciding factors were that it suited her image so well, and above all that it was the colour we guessed she liked from her belongings. I asked for wrapping with a red ribbon, and they kindly agreed, which I'm grateful for! Thank you for your help.

Its rounded, smooth shape sits nicely in the hand and it's very easy to use. Besides the practical side, I think the colouring is exquisite too. And what surprised me was that, because it's fired at a high temperature, it's quite hard to break. I think I'll be able to use it for a long time. I'm using the paulownia box that came with it to keep small odds and ends in (haha).
