I wants to serve each person in the family from the start, so I especially use deep plates around 15 cm deep for salads, soups, main dishes, pasta, even yogurt!

large dishes 大皿
The large thin dishes are good to use! Light, thin plates are more convenient than large, heavy plates.
大皿を選ぶときは、厚さに注目して薄いものを選ぶと◎ ただでさえ大きい大皿は重くなりがちで、厚いとより重いので、薄くて軽いものを選ぶとお手入れも持つのも楽ちんで、普段使いしやすいです！
