{"product_id":"nagafune-shigaraki-plate","title":"Nagafune | Shigaraki Rectangular Serving Plate","description":"\u003cp\u003eNagafune is a rectangular Shigaraki serving plate handcrafted by Hitoshi Minagawa at Tsuchinoko Kiln. It measures 9.4 in by 4.3 in (240 × 110 mm), sized for sushi, sashimi, or a single grilled fillet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plate is fired unglazed using the anagama technique: a wood kiln fed with pine for about a week above 1200°C. Drifting ash settles on the clay, creating the yakishime finish in ember brown and smoked umber. Each firing differs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-built rather than cast, the plate shows slight asymmetry in surface and edge. This reflects wabi-sabi, the Japanese aesthetic valuing natural variation over symmetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNagafune works just as well for cheese, charcuterie, bread, or pastry presentations. \u003cbr\u003eHand washing preserves the fired surface; the microwave is safe to use, though the dishwasher is not recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tsuchinoko Kiln","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54482189811925,"sku":"TNK-PLA-01","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/7095\/0613\/files\/nagafune-plate-pi-01.jpg?v=1786514796","url":"https:\/\/tsukushi-japan.com\/en-us\/products\/nagafune-shigaraki-plate","provider":"TSUKUSHI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
