×At first glance, the Edo Dinosaur Ramen Bowl displays a tranquil Japanese Edo scene. Look closer, though, and you'll find a curious Jurassic-era dinosaur has taken residence. The inclusion of this playful dinosaur in the traditional scene adds whimsy and amusement, with historical significance. In Japan's Mino region, where these bowls are crafted, dinosaur fossils are occasionally found, linking the fine porcelain to a rich Jurassic history. The generous size of the Edo Dinosaur Ramen Bowl makes it perfect for ramen, donburi, or even desserts.

Ramen Bowl
This type of large bowl is ideal for serving noodle soup dishes like Japanese ramen, udon, and soba. Called ramen bachi (ラーメン鉢), they come in a variety of shapes and styles like fan-shaped, trumpet-shaped, high-footed, wide-mouthed, or multipurpose. Flatter and wider bowls typically hold more soup, noodles, and toppings. A ramen bowl also works for other types of dishes like pho, pasta, and entreé salads.
Mino Ware
Mino ware refers to pottery traditionally made in Japan’s eastern Gifu Prefecture, primarily in Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kani. This ancient method of producing elegant, durable ceramics has roots going back over 1300 years to Japan’s Kofun period in the 7th century. Typically found nested into the mountainsides, the unique kilns used to produce Mino ware are often referred to as anagama kilns, and the master artisans producing these stunning products continue to adhere to rigid standards to produce only the highest quality ceramics.
