The size of the dish and how to use 揃えたい便利なお皿のサイズは?

Old Japanese size “1寸” is about 3.3cm. Almost every dishes are multiples of about 3.3cm(1寸). Knowing how to use each size of dish, you can choose easily.

Small dishes 小皿

小さなお菓子や、ちょっとしたおかずに

Store 12-15cm

Deep dishes of 10 cm to 12 cm are perfect for holding small side dishes. Having more of the same type of dish will create a rhythm in the appearance of the dish and make it look more attractive!

large dishes 大皿

The large thin dishes are good to use! Light, thin plates are more convenient than large, heavy plates.
