Tableware - INI

Tableware is a general term for dishes (plates, bowls, cups, etc.) and utensils (chopsticks, forks, spoons, knives, etc.) used for dining. It is broadly divided into Japanese tableware and Western tableware, each with shapes, materials, and usage methods suited to their respective food cultures. In recent years, fusion designs combining Japanese and Western styles, as well as tableware emphasizing sustainability, have been increasing.
