Saikai Pottery Japanese Soba choko cups with Japanese traditional pattern,Set of 5

I don't use these bowls for their intended use. I use them as adorable and very useful little bowls. They are perfect when I want a little bit of something like a small dish of ice cream, some salsa for chips, a small serving of fruit. They're perfect for so many things. They came well packaged and I can't stress how cute/pretty they are.

I am originally from Japan, and was thinking about ordering a set of Soba choko from there, then I found the exact same set on Amazon here in the US at a pretty reasonable price. I use them for zaru soba and chawan mushi (steamed egg hotchpotch) and am very satisfied with them. Soba choko cups are very versatile so you can even put ice cream in them!
