SIRO CULINARY CERAMICS

Pottery for cooking

“Siro” welcomes orders for custom-made crockery from all culinary professionals. We have expressed our philosophy of start-to-finish crafting of cookware using the name “Siro.”

Cooking specialists strive to perfect their own unique cuisine. We believe that the expression of novel cookery involves unlisted, personalized pottery. Craftsmen from Siro create handmade vessels one by one following this principle. Each artisan will help you attain your own specialized goals!

Mr. Ryo Koyama

Cavo Nishi-ku, Osaka

Amazing cuisines and vessels are born as they correspond with each other

Chefs judge with their senses whether or not the vessels are compatible with their culinary art.

Mr. Toshifumi Nakahigashi

cusavilla Minato-ku, Tokyo

There must be no discomfort between the cuisine and the vessel

I think both cuisines and vessels will continue to evolve as chefs and potters improve their skills by inspiring each other.

Mr. Hideyuki Obase

Obase Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City

Pottery can determine the ambiance of the dish

For professional chefs, a vessel is a part of the cuisine. The exact same dish can have entirely new impressions, depending on the vessel being used.

Mr. Motoi Maeda

Restaurant MOTOI Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City

Responding to diverse values through the power of a vessel

In order to serve various age groups and views, it is essential to pay attention to not just the food, but also to how the vessels are being used.

Mr. Tetsuo Irie

fudo Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City

The quality of the vessel changes the value of the dish

When I am creating a new dish, I deeply feel the value of having an original pottery that would support the stunning visual effect of my culinary creation.

Aspiring to fashion receptacles that animate the cuisine

Daisuke KiyomizuSiro Representative Director

Working with our organization, Tokinoha, which represents the concept of daily-use receptacles, we have been privileged to place orders for individualistic chefs. There is a significant difference between crocks for everyday use and those for chefs. Through our collaboration with them, we have fully grasped this reality, which led to the launch of orders for our customized brand,“Siro”, in 2019. We have created a “Replication Space” in 2021, inside the Tokinoha Ceramic Studio in Kyoto, that affords the simulated usage of ceramics in a restaurant atmosphere. We eagerly await the coming of culinary professionals! Please feel free to take advantage of our facilities!

Ordering:

We have a gallery space displaying 500 pottery samples within Tokinoha Ceramic Studio. We believe that the “Replication Space” can provide an atmosphere similar to your restaurant for inspiration. (Reservation needed)

1. Meeting Reservation

Please apply via our reservation form.

2. Sharing Imagery

Through samples you provide, we can obtain general aspects of materials, sizes, shapes, and colors. We will prepare materials for the tables similar to the ones used at the restaurant. We intend to harmonize the vision of the creator with the expectations of the user, considerately, through the project.

3. Production

Please choose whether to proceed to a full production, or rather to create a sample. Sample completion will require a 1-month period. (Time may vary depending on ceramic type as well as our order situation).

4. Delivery

Approximately 2 months will be required for delivery. (Time may vary depending on the lot number as well as our order situation). We will deliver it to the designated location.

5. Aftercare

If a piece chips during the use of Siro-ware, we have aftercare service employing the “kintsugi” technique (pottery-repair utilizing a lacquer mixed with gold). We also hold lectures on how to mend your special items for a longtime relationship with them.

We guarantee excellence, satisfaction and follow-up of your earthenware! We hope you will make use of Siro!
