- How much do you know about Japanese dining and tableware? I actually know nothing when I first came to Japan except for the rice bowl, soup bowl and chopsticks. 😅 I remember few times when I tried to set up a traditional Japanese meal at home 3 years ago, my husband would tell me that I arranged the dishes in a wrong way. That rice should be here and soup should be there, etc.
In this video, I will share with you what I learned about Japanese table set up, basic components, tableware names and it's uses. You might remember some in this video the next time you visit a Japanese restaurant. You can also use this video as a guide to pull up traditional Japanese dining in your own home. 😊

Usually in the Netherlands the traditional way is to place the meat on individuale plates and the veggies and boiled potatoes in the pan on the table and everyone helps themselves. Perhaps there is a bowl of gravy. Or everything is mashed together (called stamppot) and placed in one pan on the table. But we do have a lot of forgeign dishes as well, especially Indonesian and some Suriname dishes as well and we love Chinese take aways where the trays are put in the centre and everyone helps themselves.
Personally I eat a lot of Japanese (having lived there and in normal times go back once or twice a year) so I usually make individual plates even if we eat western style foods. It looks nicer I think and better for portion control hahaha But because I cook a lot of Japanese I have a lot of individual plates for washing up. I sometimes feel guilty about that especially since it is my husband who usually cleans up after dinner.
Hi Tamara. Wow! Your comment is very informative too. Thank you so so much for sharing. I cannot agree more about portion control and the dish washing in Japan. It is very time consuming. Haha Netherland’s dining style seems to be way more easier and fun. Like a feast on the table that everyone helps themselves. I also find it interesting that you put the pan on the table instead of serving plates. 😊
@@ItsWanderAngel fun thing is with Christmas and Easter we do use fancy serving plates hahaha
Very soothing videos
Amazing video. Can I post this on my Instagram page please?
Very informative. I loved it. Also very inspiring, it makes me want to choose my dishes with the thought that everything doesn’t have to match but still can be beautiful and one.
It is indeed a Japanese culture to love.Another advantage is that if something breaks, it’s easier, because you don’t need to replace with exact same design. You can replace it with any of your choice. 😊
I appreciate Japanses tablewares too and have been looking for this kind of information for long time. Thanks for sharing.
Such a gorgeous tableware collection! And all those different dishes in different sizes for different uses - such a great excuse to collect pottery!
I'm in Sweden, we mostly serve family style - all the food in their pots and pans (or in bowls and on serving dishes) in the middle of the table, and everyone have their own plates, and serve themselves food, or ask the one who sits closest to the dish to spoon it up for them. Very relaxed and unceremonial!
I love the high mix you do with tableware. Ive just started my collection. I’m excited to add the kobuchi size bowls now.
The high mix of tableware is very normal in Japan. Kobachi is so fun to collect and I’m excited for you too. 😊 I hope to hear from you again. Thank you so much for your comment as always. 💕🥰
My family and I are initiating to change our diet to mostly Japanese food. We are an international family and so we cook all sorts of dishes. But we always agree that eating at a Japanese table gives us so much pleasure. I am so happy to discover your vlog because it has given me the knowledge on what to buy. Individualism is so celebrated in Japan, even on the eating table. I love the idea that for everyone, the dishes can be different!
This is a fantastic video and a great introduction to Japanese table setting. I have watched it several times for reference.
One of the best vlogs in youtube! Wonderful job by explaining everything in details. Loved it. Thank you for sharing ❤🧡💛💚💙💜💙💚💛🧡❤
Wow! You actually made my day. 🥰 Thank you for taking time to comment. Take care. 💕
@@ItsWanderAngel u r very welcome, I mean it. You have done a awesome job. Beautiful👍💞 stay safe and healthy
@@ItsWanderAngel totally agree! Very informative video! Never knew that’s how it is in Japan! Mix-and-match tableware is actually prettier IMO.
Where do you buy your tableware? Are they all from Kappabashi Tokyo? I saw your videos about the place. It is like a paradise! Would love to go there in the future.
Thank you for your videos! 💐💐🌺🌺
@@bogeyisaacthedogs2122 Hi. First, thank you for watching and for taking time to comment. 😊 I appreciate it. Mixing and matching is fun and I’m glad you find it nice.
I bought my collection from different places. Okinawa, Hagi, Oita and Nagasaki just to name a few. I bought some from department stores as well. 😊 Kappabashi is a newly discovered place and I enjoyed it a lot. I hope you’ll have fun there on your visit.
@@ItsWanderAngel thanks for responding! Will definitely add those places in my list to go in Japan! So excited to have my own mix of Japanese kitchenware! Please do a cookware haul! 🌸🌺
Hi, I just found your channel through the kitchen goods haul vid, I'm now very excited to go shopping when I visit Japan this year! Please come back and upload new videos! Love your aesthetic btw :)
Loved the video I'm gonna buy one of each
Yes mixing and matching things gives that homey feel.
Hello from Uruguay! Thanks you for the explanation, I did not know about the different sizes, shapes and uses of plates, bowls 😍😍😍👍👍👍
Beautiful stuff you own . From India
Thank You so much 🌸😃
I just love it all.!!!
🥰 thank you so much. Take care always.
Very relaxing to watch this video! So esthetical arrangement on the table! ❤️Have a good day! Greetings from Romania! 🤗
Hi! That’s a lovely comment from you Lovely Places to Visit. Glad that my video reached you in Romania. 🥰 thank you for always watching my videos.
In my country (UAE 🇦🇪) and my origin country (yemen 🇾🇪) we make food in different large bowls (if there are atleast 4 people) and large sharing plates. And if we are planning to store the food for later, we eat it on a smaller plate, but if we have guests over, we all consume on the same sharing plate, but some dishes like salad cant be eaten by the same bowl (for salad) also we eat mostly by hand because its a tradition that our ancestors do, and we eat on the floor (because its healthier as some say that it will help you digest because sitting on the chair makes the gravity pull your legs and not help with digestive system) and most of the time the food is spread on the floor and we use a sufra (large cloth) to place under the food and some families own a low table but most prefer the floor. And when we eat we eat quickly (but chew well) and we don't fill our stomach all the way because it encourages laziness, and some sitting positions are considered rude, make you feel more lazy and might give you a heart burn.
Heart warming & very useful beautiful video ♥️ , LOVE Japan and it’s amazing culture
Thanks for sharing ♥️🥰♥️

Very enjoyable and educational! I love learning Japanese traditions you're showing me that everything has beauty and purpose. 💜 🤗 💜 Thank you!!!!
Thank you for your comment and for always watching my video. I really really appreciate it. 💕
This was an interesting and inspiring video. I was intrigued by the non uniformity of the tableware. That was not expected by me but fully appreciated. And the music, the family scene at the end of the video ….. priceless.

Greetings from Germany!! I love your videos! So calm and interesting informations!
Japanese Dining 101 - Learn the Basic Traditional Table Arrangement | Tableware Names and Functions
I lived in Japan for several years on and off since 1967. I was taught by several different Japanese families that the first thing you eat is a one small mouth full of rice out of respect for the primary food source of Japan. This was also true when I stayed at a dozen Buddhist Temples.
This video reminded me the best family trip ever in my life. I have been to Japan with my parents for 5days and the host treated us so good! We enjoyed the Japanese home cooking food 💖💖💖
It’s good to know that your best family to trip was in Japan. 😊 thank you for your comment by the way.
lovely
I love these tableware you have , each bowls , small dishes have a unique detail to it. You have a very pretty collection . I'm looking forward to adding some more Japanese tableware to my kitchen.
Hi! Thank you so much for the compliment. I’m glad to know that you wanted to add more Japanese tableware to your collection. 😊
Thank you for this informative and inspiring video. Well done.
I really enjoy watching this video, very useful
I have all of these tablewares at home though I'm not Japanese but it is only now that I know their uses/function. Well-done video.👍

Very informative, thank you! And I love all your dishes! :)
I’m glad that you find my video informative. Thank you for your comment. 😊 take care.
Angel nakakatuwa naman. Ang dami pla talagang klase ng mga lalagyan ng pagkain diyan sa japan.. Ang ganda ganda lang tingnan. 🙂
Hello Daren. Thank you for watching. Ang ganda noh? Kahit magkakaiba ng pattern.
Love watching you vlogs tita Angel. Super relaxing. ♥️🙏🏻 Nakakainspire, sana someday when I have my own family ganyan din ako ka organize ♥️
Thank you. 🥰 Practice practice ka na. Hehe
We lay tables with cutlery in order of courses so outside right soup spoon then knife right fork large left for main course then spoon right and little fork left for dessert glasses to the right one wine one water and floofed napkin in wine glass. For special occasions big metallic charger plate under dinner plate
Your teapot is beautiful, that teapot is a hasami-yaki brand. Is that teapot still available for purchase?
Besides the tableware (I really like the sakura shaped one!) the food you have on it looks delicious! DId you cook them all? :D
Yes I did except for the nikujaga (the one that’s in the tiny kobachi bowl). 😊 Thank you for your comment as always. Take care.
@@ItsWanderAngel always enjoy your vlogs! #goals
I love all of the dishes/dinnerwares you have shown us. Do you know where I can find similar ones in the US?
Hi More Adventure. I’m glad ou loved my collection. Sorry I have no idea on the suppliers in the US. 😞
Thanks
Thank you too . 😊
사고 싶은 예쁜 그릇들🌲일본의 테이블 세팅 잘 배웠습니다!
Those ‘oversized’ bowls are regular bowls in my country 😅
❤
❤❤❤
I like the mix of patterns, colors and sizes - and the appreciation of beautiful pieces. But I would not want to store all those dishes or wash them.
Usually we have everything in big pots or serving plates in the middle so that everyone can help themselves to what they want.
Hi Emi. Thank you for sharing. May I ask where are you from? 😊 Yours is the same as what we do in Philippines (my origin country). Putting pots in the middle of the table is really not a thing here in Japan except when you’re eating a hotpot.
@@ItsWanderAngel I'm from Poland x
@@emikawakita8801 same
If you put different food inside the different dishware, that will be great
This video is beautiful but I wish so badly that it had a voice over :( pretty dishes though :)
I've seen several anime wherein one of the characters will be cooking something (usually stew or soup) and will spoon some of it into a tiny little bowl to taste.
What kind of bowls are those teensy little bowls the characters are using to sample their cooking? Seems way more efficient and less work than using a different spoon every time I want to see how my soup is coming along...
I really love this video ❤️ have you stopped making content or just make less?
Ceramic bowls? N what cookware okinawa people use?
❤️❤️
where did you get the small side bowl in the middle?
Not a fan of Asian food but I’ll use the bowls for cereal or soup.
i'm someone who will 100% confuse the usege of the each plate at least the first 1 to 2 years, and will later do too sometime. The washing process if done by hand will be terrible, if i'm in japan even if i know how to cook i think i will be kicked out from the kitchen if i don't know how to plate the dishes T.T.......
