Bring a touch of Japanese tradition and good fortune to your tea ritual with the Fuku Mino Ware Yunomi, crafted in Japan and decorated with the Japanese character 福 (fuku), meaning “good fortune” or “blessing”.

A familiar symbol of happiness and prosperity in Japanese culture, the bold fuku character takes centre stage, framed by intricate geometric patterns and traditional-inspired detailing.

The design wraps around the ceramic surface in contrasting Red and Green colourways, giving the yunomi a distinctive and characterful appearance while retaining a traditional Japanese aesthetic.

Available in Red and Green, this yunomi is perfect for enjoying Japanese green tea, hojicha, genmaicha, or your favourite everyday tea.

Made in Japan, it makes a charming addition to a Japanese tea collection and a thoughtful gift symbolising good wishes, happiness and good fortune.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a Japanese tea cup (Yunomi) and a matcha bowl (Chawan)?

Both Yunomi and Chawan are traditional Japanese tea vessels, but they are designed for different styles of tea.

A Yunomi (湯のみ) is a tall, handleless cup made for everyday tea drinking and is commonly used for green tea, sencha, hojicha, and genmaicha.

A Chawan (茶碗) is a wider, open bowl specifically designed for preparing and drinking matcha during the Japanese tea ceremony, allowing enough space for whisking the tea with a bamboo whisk.

In short, Yunomi is for everyday tea, while Chawan is for matcha.

What is a Yunomi?

A Yunomi (湯のみ) is a traditional Japanese tea cup designed for everyday tea drinking. Unlike formal tea ceremony bowls, Yunomi are made for daily use and are commonly enjoyed with green tea, hojicha, genmaicha, and other Japanese teas. Their comfortable shape makes them suitable for both hot and cold beverages.

What is Mino Ware?

Mino Ware, or Mino-yaki (美濃焼), is a traditional Japanese ceramic ware originating from the Mino region of Gifu Prefecture. With a history spanning more than 1,000 years, it is known for its diverse styles, glazes, colours, and everyday functionality.
