Chawanmushi Cups

Chawanmushi Cups

Chawanmushi (茶碗蒸) is one of Japan's most beloved dishes — a silky steamed egg custard served in a lidded ceramic cup. The right cup makes all the difference: deep enough to hold the custard, with a well-fitted lid to seal in steam, and beautiful enough to bring to the table.

At Great Zakka, we carry a wide selection of authentic Japanese chawanmushi cups handcrafted by artisans across Japan. Our collection includes classic white porcelain cups, hand-painted Mino ware designs, rustic Seto ware, and elegant Arita porcelain — all with matching lids.

Chawanmushi cups double beautifully as small soup bowls, dessert cups, or lidded serving vessels for other Japanese dishes. They also make a wonderful gift for anyone who loves Japanese cooking or entertaining.

All pieces are made in Japan and ship from our US warehouse. In-store pickup available at our Great Neck, NY store.
