Ceramic Plates

In izakayas (sort of Japanese pubs where alcohol and little dishes are served) or Japanese restaurants it is very common that food is presented on little square or rectangular plates.
This kind of plates is also used to serve famous sushis and sashimi.
Naturally they can have many different uses and allow a presentation both simple and original for western cuisine. All these plates are made with great care in Japan. Washing in dishwasher is not recommended.
