A number of years ago, we decided to buy a bunch of Japanese dishes.
Ivan’s cousin, his wife, and their 2 kids, live in Japan, and have for several years, and we got into Japanese cooking because of them. I didn’t do a lot of it then, but have so much more time now that I’m getting back into it now.
I switched out our Amazon Basics white dishes for our beautiful, functional, heavy “Made in Japan” dishes. Here is what they look like.
The dishes are a much better size for us, and the weight of them is more secure as well. Using the white dishes, the dinner plates are huge so we never use them, and they barely fit in the cupboard. The salad plate just isn’t big enough but it was what we had to use. These dishes, the Japanese ones, just look at the size of the dinner plate on the left. Perfect. The bowls in the middle are perfect for a package of ramen. The soup bowls, next to the right, are perfect for most everything, and the small bowls are great for a side veg, a scoop of ice cream, or a side of cottage cheese.
On the top shelf are 3 different lengths of rectangular plates, perfect for a sandwich and a scoop of cottage cheese. Across to the other side, the small square dishes are for sauces, when I actually get around to making the Japanese meals. They’re just what I will need.
Probably the reason we bought them, huh?!
Until next time, stay happy, and healthy in the Lord.
