About Mino Ware (Minoyaki)


Mino Ware (美濃焼, Mino-yaki) is a traditional Japanese pottery style that has been produced for over 1,300 years in the Mino region of Gifu Prefecture. Known for its rich variety of glazes, textures, and forms, Mino Ware is not defined by a single style—but rather by its adaptability and artistry. From rustic, earthy finishes to delicate, refined porcelain, Mino Ware continues to evolve while honoring ancient techniques.

Today, it remains one of Japan’s most widely used ceramics, prized for both daily use and fine dining. With its perfect balance of beauty, function, and craftsmanship, Mino Ware brings quiet elegance to any table.
