While valuing traditional techniques, modern design that excites the heart
The first item on the launch of HOMARe: was Arita ware. Arita ware is the first porcelain in Japan made in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture. It has been used in inns for about 400 years. It is characterized not only by its delicate design and sophisticatedness, but also by its lightness and durability for long-term use of your favorites. Many of HOMARe:'s Arita ware is coated with 24-karat gold or platinum, and can be used not only for cooking but also for storing accessories and other small items. The raw material, ceramic stone, is a well-balanced mixture of kaolin and quartz collected in Amakusa, Kumamoto Prefecture, and is so untouched that it has the optimal balance for porcelain in its natural state, which is a blessing of nature.
There is also a bowl kneaded with reinforced porcelain, which is 1.7 times stronger than ordinary porcelain, which is researched at the Saga Prefectural Ceramics Technology Center, and it is an item that fosters an awareness of "using things carefully" that is linked to the "responsible consumption and production of products" of SDGs Goal 12. At the time of the launch of the brand, we collaborated with the potter to produce "Pink Arita ware" from the glaze, which was made after many meetings with 12 chefs and lifestyle experts. It was a product development that was conscious of adding the essence of modernity to the good old days.
