A beautiful overlaid pattern of blue stripes, part of the Kasanejima series of tableware from Hakusan Porcelain. It makes your vegetable dishes stand out to highlight the texture and brightness of seasonal vegetables. It gives vegetables the recognition they deserve at our dining table.
Traditionally, a square dish is used for yaki-sakana (grilled fish) or I use it for plating antipasto dishes to welcome friends, together with a white wine.
