Soumei Lacquerware has been operating since 1923 in Kawada-cho, Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, the birthplace of Echizen lacquerware with a history of approximately 1,500 years.We are a lacquerware store that has taken on new challenges, such as being one of the first in the industry to adopt plastic.

Kyutarou Blue isa blue and wooden tableware born from a search for a way to simultaneously convey the "charm of the wooden base" and the "charm of the lacquered object", as well as to convey the appeal of blue tableware, which was once considered taboo.Incorporating the name of the company's founder, Kyutarou Soumei,, we aim to create products that connect the old and the new.

About the blue color

The blue part is painted translucently, which creates a gradation of the wood grain. The same product can be finished in unique colors depending on the color of the wood at the time and the season. Please enjoy your own unique blue color.

About paints

Urethane tableware paint is a durable and safe paint that is easy to care for and handle, with almost no deterioration over time. It is sprayed on each natural wood vessel one by one by craftsmen.

■Texture and thermal insulation

The surface coating is matte and smooth to the touch. The wooden base is all natural wood and is light to the touch with the warmth of wood. Wood isinsulating and resistant to heat and cold, so it can be used all year round.

Durable and easy to clean

One of the advantages of wooden tableware is that it is hard to break even if dropped. It is also recommended for small children. The urethane coating on the tableware causes almost no color degradation, and it can be washed in the same way as other tableware with a mild detergent, so there is no need for special care.

*About dents and uneven grain

Wooden pieces that arrive in white wood are firstremoved if they have strong dents or if the wood grain is not very beautiful.When we finish inspecting the wood, about half of it will be removed. If we were to inspect the wood more strictly thannow, it would be difficult to deliver the wood at the current price.We hope you will enjoy the slight dents and color irregularities as the character of natural wood.
