It is also a practical size for western soups, pasta, and stir-fries where a standard cereal bowl would feel too small.

Stoneware sits between earthenware and porcelain in terms of density and durability. It retains heat well, which is useful for dishes like ramen that are best eaten hot.

For a bowl used daily for hot dishes, stoneware is a practical and hard-wearing choice.
