Yanco JP-1035 Japanese Melamine 4-3/8" Square Bowl, Sand — Case of 48 (4 dz)

JP-1035 is the square bowl of the Japanese line, 4-3/8" on a side with walls high enough to hold a wet side dish — sunomono, ohitashi, a scoop of seaweed salad, or a portion of rice. The square shape is the point: it lines up cleanly along a tray or a bento board where a round bowl leaves gaps between settings.

Set against the pattern’s round bowls of similar width it reads as a deliberate accent rather than a default, which is why kitchens tend to buy a few dozen rather than a wall of them. Melamine survives being stacked wet and dropped into a bus tub, and it is dishwasher safe. Sand ground with the abstract Japanese design, four dozen to the case.
