This square tray with a removable bamboo strainer is used for serving cold soba noodles. It comes with a stand to be placed under the bamboo strainer. Made by Yamanaka lacquerware and coated with brown lacquer, it can recreate the ambiance of an authentic soba restaurant. 

The matte texture of the “Suri-Urushi” (wiped lacquer) finish enhances the beauty of the wood grain.

The bamboo strainer is made using bamboo from Japan, and is crafted by Miyabi Urushi, renowned maker for its woodwork. It effectively removes excess water from boiled soba, allowing for a beautifully presented dish. 

Since the tray and bamboo strainer can be used separately, cleaning after use is also easy. The tray can also hold items like sake cups, teacups, and small plates. Additionally, you can use the bamboo strainer in combination with plates and trays you have at home. 

Miyabi Urushi Kogei is a manufacturer of Kiso woodwork, the traditional woodcraft of Nagano Prefecture. Working with skilled craftspersons, the company produces a variety of tableware and other traditional crafts that utilize the finest woods in Japan.
