The Arita ware mini parfait with porcelain bowl is a mini parfait served in an Arita porcelain bowl. After eating, the bowl can be used as a teacup or a small bowl. Ingredients for the parfait are sourced mainly from Arita Town in Saga Prefecture. Specifically, the lineup includes a parfait with Saga Prefecture strawberries “Ichigosan,” a parfait with Arita kumquat and rich chocolate, and a parfait with Ureshino matcha. The cup’s design is based on a lucky pattern motif of bats, which have many auspicious meanings such as “abundance of happiness” and “bats” sounding the same as “good fortune” and being associated with having many children, making it an ideal gift. ARITA PORCELAIN LAB., Inc, founded by the seventh-generation Yasemon of the “Yasemon Kiln,” which has a 220-year history since its establishment in 1804, is a brand that promotes a luxury and modern lifestyle in Japan. The Arita flagship store, opened in 2016, has an attached cafe, offering lunch and cafe menus using Arita porcelain from this kiln. Amidst the many confectionary souvenirs, the idea was to develop a unique item representative of Arita Town, leading to the planning of a dessert served in an Arita porcelain bowl. The Arita ware mini parfait was created in consultation with a pâtissier active in Fukuoka, using local ingredients. The bowl material uses the new ceramic clay “Tenpaku,” adopting a method where the glaze is mixed into the clay and fired in the main kiln without bisque firing, achieving cost and CO2 emission reductions. This base is then adorned with a modern design of traditional Ko-Imari patterns and overglaze decoration. The product is delivered frozen; when defrosting, please move it from the freezer to the refrigerator about 2 hours before consumption and let it defrost slowly before enjoying. After the meal, the bowl is reusable and can be used as a cup for tea or sake or a small bowl for side dishes, making it a highly appreciated gift.
