Care Guide

Caring for Your Tochi Plate
This unique plate is handcrafted from fine wood and is meant to be enjoyed slowly, with the same care invested in its creation. A thin layer of food-safe polyurethane protects the surface while preserving the natural feel of the material.
This finish helps balance beauty and durability, making everyday use effortless without compromising authenticity.
Cleaning Recommendations
Wash by hand using lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid soaking, dishwashers, or microwaves, as they may damage the wood and its protective layer.
After washing, dry thoroughly with a soft cloth and store in a well-ventilated space.
With just a little care, your Mokurin wooden plate will age gracefully, becoming even more personal over time.

Rooted in the values of Japanese tableware, it offers a way to elevate everyday moments, grounding the meal in care, simplicity, and place.

Wood Plates FAQs

Are Mokurin wooden plates microwave or dishwasher-safe?

No. Let me explain why.
High heat and moisture can warp the wood or weaken its protective finish over time. These appliances are too harsh for natural, handcrafted pieces like this.
To preserve Mokurin’s form and tactile beauty, wash it by hand, avoid harsh detergents, and dry it immediately. Store it in a well-ventilated space to help it last beautifully.

Is the Mokurin wooden plate safe for serving food?

Yes, it is.
Mokurin is crafted from Tochi (Japanese Horse Chestnut) and finished with a food-safe polyurethane sealant.
This subtle coating meets Japanese food safety standards, protecting the wood’s natural charm, and your peace of mind. Perfect for pizza, small bites, or sushi, it’s made for worry-free enjoyment.

What kind of food would you recommend for Mokurin?

Even though Tochi wood is hard, because of its polyurethane finish and beautiful grain, we recommend using it to serve food that’s already cut , avoid using a knife directly on it.
At Tsukushi we love serving sliced pizza on it; it adds a unique rustic charm. Traditional uses like sushi plates also work beautifully. Appetizers such as ham, cheese, and small bites look and serve great on this wooden plate too.

Will the appearance of Mokurin change over time?

Yes, and that’s part of its charm.
With time and use, Mokurin gradually develops a soft patina and deeper warmth, a quiet transformation that tells the story of your everyday moments.
In Japanese aesthetics, this natural aging is cherished, a reminder that beauty grows with use. Over the years, it becomes more than a plate, it becomes a quiet companion to your daily rituals.

Fine…but what makes the Mokurin wooden plate truly special?

Picture holding a plate where every curve and grain tells a story.
Mokurin is made from tochi (栃), or Japanese horse chestnut, a local wood with a soft glow, beautiful patterns, and a quiet kind of strength. No two plates are ever the same.

That’s the charm of Japanese woodworking, it celebrates the unique character of each piece instead of chasing perfection. It’s a one-of-a-kind piece of craft, rooted in tradition and made to bring a natural, calming vibe to your table.

Can I use Mokurin every day?

Of course! Mokurin isn’t just built for daily use, it’s crafted for it.
Made from resilient Tochi wood and finished to handle real-life moments, it’s perfect for serving fresh fruit, sweets, or a casual pizza night. But don’t let the laid-back vibe fool you.
This is a one-of-a-kind wooden plate, thoughtfully made because your everyday deserves something special too.

Can I mix Mokurin with my regular Western tableware?

Absolutely! and it looks great doing it.
Mokurin may be rooted in the Japanese tableware tradition, but its clean lines and smooth grain make it just as fitting in a modern or Western space.
Use it as a sushi plate or to serve pizza with a touch of elegance. Either way, it brings warmth and quiet charm to the table.

Would Mokurin make a meaningful gift?

Absolutely.
Mokurin is far more than a plate, it’s a refined standout among wooden gifts. Handcrafted with care from real Japanese wood, its soft glow and expressive grain make it a timeless piece for those who value beauty and authenticity.

Are there different sizes or finishes available for Mokurin?

Yes, the version shown here is the larger size, measuring 13 inches in diameter and 0.6 inches in height (330 × 15 mm), a striking presence on the table, perfect as a wooden charger plate.

Why is wood a cherished material for tableware in Japan?

Wood brings something to the table that ceramic just can’t, warmth, softness, and a natural feel that connects you to the outdoors.
A wooden plate is lighter to hold and easier on your table. Its subtle grain and warm glow give off a cozy, human vibe.

When it comes to Japanese tableware, Mokurin isn’t trying to outshine ceramics, it’s there to balance things out, adding contrast and character to any meal.

A Simple Circle, Born of Nature

Whispers from the Deep Woods

Mokurin (木輪・もくりん) means “wooden circle.”
It comes from the Japanese characters 木 (moku, wood) and 輪 (rin, circle), and it perfectly captures the calm, grounded feel of this piece.

With its smooth, round shape and natural charm, Mokurin adds a quiet elegance to any table. But it’s more than just a name, it reflects the soul of Japanese woodworking: warm, thoughtful, and deeply connected to everyday life.
