I purchased this at Kogen-sha in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture. It's a round Nambu lacquerware jubako (tiered food box) that I've used for 20 years. It cost around 40,000 to 50,000 yen. I was worried whether it was too early for me or if I could use it properly, and it was very expensive for me, so I went back and forth for a week, really agonizing over it. I wanted lacquerware that I could use casually, not just for New Year's or special occasions. The shop staff said, "Round ones are also lovely for serving sushi, one person at a time," and that's what made me decide to buy it. Without being too formal, even ordinary supermarket sushi becomes special when served in this, and chirashi-zushi (scattered sushi) can be presented beautifully, one serving per person, on the table. It was also very useful when guests came over, for serving Japanese sweets. It has served me well, so there are scratches and scuffs. There is also a small chip on the edge of the bottom. Even so, I have cherished it. New lacquerware is expensive, so if you're thinking of starting casually... how about it? After the New Year, it will be useful for seasonal events like the Doll Festival and the Boys' Festival. You might think round ones are difficult to pack, but the movement they create makes them look gorgeous. I myself was quite torn between this and a square black lacquered one, but I'm glad I chose this one. Size: Height: Approximately 15.5 cm Diameter: Approximately 20.5 cm
