Good product but long wait time for delivery to US. Because of wrenches thrown into trade wheels by Trump administration, my order was held in custom clearance stage for weeks. Akazuki was awesome. They replied my message and the item was well packaged. Top notch Japanese item and customer service.
Thank you

Traditional Sometsuke Style | Authentic Blue & White Chawanmushi Cups (3-Piece Set)
Immerse your dining table in timeless Japanese aesthetic traditions. Made in Japan, this authentic three-piece ceramic set showcases classic blue and white patterns inspired by historical Sometsuke porcelain design. Specially engineered for preparing and serving Chawanmushi (Japanese savory egg custard), each cup comes with a matching lid that sits perfectly over the rim. The lid plays a crucial role in cooking, trapping gentle steam and blocking condensation droplets from thinning your mixture, guaranteeing a silky, restaurant-grade finish. With an accommodating 230ml capacity, these gorgeous, durable cups are equally well-suited for serving hot broths, individual appetizers, chilled desserts, or green tea.

- Classic Blue & White Pattern: Finished with timeless Japanese motif styling that looks striking on display cabinets and adds an air of authenticity to Asian themed dinners.
- Protective Steaming Lids: Purpose-engineered to shield the delicate egg custard mix from chaotic steam-pot condensation, preventing water pockets and yielding a completely silky presentation.
- Durable Ceramic Composition: Kiln-fired to ensure excellent everyday structural strength and high heat retention, keeping your warm dishes insulated throughout the meal.
- Multi-Use Capacity Profile: Generous 230ml volume leaves plenty of room for creative ingredients like shrimp, gingko nuts, and shiitake mushrooms, or acts as a handleless mug for soups and green tea.
• Washing Instructions (Hand Wash Only): To permanently safeguard the crisp contrast and glossy sheen of the classic blue patterns, do not clean these cups inside a dishwasher. Hand wash gently using warm water, a mild dish soap, and a soft, non-scratch sponge.
• Heating Compatibility: Fully optimized for microwave reheating and standard stovetop steam setups (bamboo or metal steaming baskets). Do not place inside dry heat environments like conventional baking ovens or directly over open stove flames.
• Thermal Shock Prevention: Avoid transferring chilled cups immediately from a cold refrigerator straight into a boiling hot steamer. Allow the ceramic to transition closer to room temperature first to protect the glaze layer.
