Moritsuke (盛り付け) is the Japanese art of presenting food.
You are invited to sample tableware by today’s makers from around the world.
We live in a distracted world. A feed of messages, notifications, news and advertising is flowing into our phones. We need help to create a space where we just can be in the moment. This is especially important when we are with others, sitting down to share a meal. Handmade tableware brings a human touch to the table. It opens our senses to the smells, flavours and textures of the food that has been made with care and attention. Enjoy these tools for slow eating and drinking. Most are available for purchase so you can deploy them at your own table.
