Mikasa Stoneware Ramen Bowl 21cm
This Mikasa ramen bowl is 21cm across and holds 1 litre, making it a practical size for ramen, noodles, soups, stews, pasta, and stir-fries. The stoneware construction gives it solid weight and good heat retention, and the textured geometric exterior provides grip as well as visual interest. A footed base lifts the bowl slightly from the table, which helps with handling when hot. It is both microwave and dishwasher safe, and is available in six colourways: Yellow & Blue Geo, Indigo Chevron, Blue Mosaic, Grey Floral, Blue Arc, and Geometric Lime.
-
21cm diameter, 1-litre capacity: A generous size well-suited to ramen, noodle dishes, and large portions of soup or stew
-
Stoneware construction: Retains heat well and has a substantial feel; more durable than earthenware and with better heat retention than porcelain for everyday use
-
Textured geometric exterior: Adds grip and a contemporary look; the texture also helps disguise minor marks that can accumulate on plain-glazed bowls over time
-
Footed base: Raises the bowl from the surface for easier handling when hot, and reduces heat transfer to the table
-
Microwave and dishwasher safe: Practical for everyday use without needing to hand wash or transfer to a separate dish for reheating
-
Six colourways: Yellow & Blue Geo, Indigo Chevron, Blue Mosaic, Grey Floral, Blue Arc, and Geometric Lime
A well-specified everyday bowl that works equally well for Asian-inspired dishes and Western soups and pasta.
What Customers Ask About the Mikasa Stoneware Ramen Bowl
Is 21cm and 1 litre a good size for ramen?
Yes. A standard restaurant ramen bowl is typically between 20 and 23cm in diameter, so 21cm sits comfortably within that range. The 1-litre capacity is enough for a full portion of broth, noodles, and toppings without the bowl feeling cramped. It is also a practical size for western soups, pasta, and stir-fries where a standard cereal bowl would feel too small.
What are the practical differences between stoneware and other materials?
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. It is more chip-resistant than porcelain in everyday use, though it is heavier. Compared to earthenware, stoneware is less porous and more durable. For a bowl used daily for hot dishes, stoneware is a practical and hard-wearing choice.
Can I use it in the microwave to reheat food?
Yes, the bowl is confirmed microwave safe by the manufacturer. Stoneware absorbs some heat during microwaving, so take care when handling it after reheating. Use a cloth or oven glove if the bowl has been in the microwave for more than a minute or two.
Is the textured exterior practical as well as decorative?
Yes. The texture provides additional grip when handling the bowl, which is particularly useful when it is hot or when hands are wet. The textured surface also tends to show minor scuffs and wear marks less obviously over time compared to a smooth glaze finish.
Which colourway should I choose?
The six options are Yellow & Blue Geo, Indigo Chevron, Blue Mosaic, Grey Floral, Blue Arc, and Geometric Lime. The blue-toned options (Indigo Chevron, Blue Mosaic, Blue Arc) have a cooler, more neutral feel suited to most table settings. Yellow & Blue Geo and Geometric Lime are bolder choices. Grey Floral is the most understated of the six. Select your preferred colourway from the variant selector above.
Can I buy multiple bowls in the same colourway to build a set?
Yes. Each colourway is available individually, so you can order multiple bowls in the same design to build a matching set. If you want to check stock levels across colourways before ordering, contact us via our contact page or call +44 1737 222996.

Care & Use
Dishwasher: Confirmed dishwasher safe. Place on the top rack where possible to reduce the risk of impact with other items during the cycle.
Microwave: Confirmed microwave safe. Stoneware retains heat, so handle with care after microwaving.
Hand washing: If hand washing, use warm soapy water and avoid abrasive scourers on the glazed interior, which may scratch the surface over time.
Storage: Stack carefully. The footed base means bowls do not nest as flush as flat-based designs, so avoid stacking too many high to reduce the risk of chips.
