A katakuchi (片口, "single mouth") is a specialized type of chawan featuring a pouring spout, making it uniquely suited for preparing matcha lattes and other poured matcha drinks. Our katakuchi is artisanally crafted by Marco Rosario (@marcorokuro), a local studio potter whose work beautifully balances functionality with contemporary aesthetics. The precisely formed spout allows for smooth and controlled pouring, essential for achieving the perfect consistency in your finished drink.
