From mamezara small plates to Nambu ironware and Edo-kiriko glass — functional beauty the professionals love, and Japanese tradition that brings your own table to life. Chosen from a wide range of materials and techniques by people who know restaurants inside out, these are special pieces meant to be tools for a lifetime.
At Tenpos Chef's Ceramics we carry practical, unmistakably-Japanese tableware across every material, from mamezara small plates to Nambu ironware and Edo-kiriko glass. Fine pieces at home in a professional kitchen and, just as naturally, on your own table once the trip is over.
Ceramic, lacquer and wood, cast iron, Edo-kiriko glass and metal. From prestigious signed pieces to the everyday workhorses a restaurant relies on, we have gathered Japanese tableware across a wide range of materials.
We keep multiples in stock so a restaurant can actually set a table with them. Alongside one-of-a-kind pieces, we can arrange larger quantities to match what is coming in — just ask us about stock first.
From careful packing of fragile pieces to overseas delivery, we handle everything with care. Choose your favourites in store, then travel light and carry home nothing but the memory. Ask us in store about shipping.
