Comment from the Owner

This long plate has a beautiful chrysanthemum-like flower shape.

The sometsuke cherry blossom round crests are elegantly arranged, utilizing the negative space, giving it a neat yet distinctively Kyoto-esque splendor.

It's a versatile plate, perfect for serving grilled fish, sashimi, or single dishes, suitable for everyday use or entertaining guests.
