Beams Japan Hamadagama Soba Cup (Brown)

The Hamadagama Soba Cup from Beams Japan brings that tranquil Mashiko vibe right to your table, yet still feels totally contemporary. Handcrafted in Mashiko, Japan, in the traditional Hamadagama ceramics workshop, each cup embodies a piece of Mingei heritage.

The Beams Japan Hamadagama Soba Cup looks like a little ceramic character: dark on the outside, with an almost liquid-looking glaze, topped with a light, slightly porous rim that looks as if it is slowly running down the cup. This organic surface catches the light differently from every angle, so that the Hamadagama Soba Cup from Beams Japan shows completely new nuances depending on the time of day. Each cup is hand-formed and fired, resulting in minimal differences in structure and color that create the wabi-sabi charm that Beams Japan celebrates so much.

Whether you're pouring cold soba sauce, tea, or just water, the Beams Japan Hamadagama Soba Cup fits comfortably in your hand without feeling bulky. With a diameter of around 9 centimeters and a height of around 7 centimeters, it's compact enough for everyday use, but striking enough to make a small design statement at any dinner party. The Hamadagama Soba Cup from Beams Japan fits easily into a clean, minimalist kitchen setup, but also into a crowded shared kitchen full of plants, plates, and incense sticks.

Beams Japan thinks of everyday life as a lifestyle project, and that's exactly how the Beams Japan Hamadagama Soba Cup feels: a small object that slows down your morning routine and at the same time makes the table look like it came straight from an apartment in Tokyo. To keep it looking good for a long time, it's best to keep the cup away from the microwave, oven, and dishwasher and wash it gently by hand instead. 100% ceramic.
