Tableware for the present moment

Holding a plate in one's hand, its form, texture, and ease of use naturally elicits a smile. This is WASARA.

On occasions where friends and family gather for formal or casual parties, WASARA's elegant forms naturally accentuate the delicacy of the cuisine and the graceful movements of those who hold them.

Underlying the spirit of WASARA is the legacy of the Japanese aesthetic and values. Japan has a tradition of incomparable manufacturing backed by reliable skills and technique, one of the most refined food cultures in the world, and a spirit of hospitality and attention to detail. While WASARA tableware is by design ephemeral, it represents the essence of Japanese tradition and spirit.

Earth-conscious

As is the fate of all single-use tableware, a piece of WASARA can serve its purpose only once. Yet it is designed to minimize environmental burden. WASARA is made from 100% renewable, tree-free materials, specifically, bamboo, reed pulp, and bagasse (a by-product of the sugar refining process).

Bamboo and reed grow in abundance, and are readily renewed. Bagasse is waste left over after extracting juice from sugarcane, and is often discarded or burned, but its intrinsic properties make it perfect as a paper base.

By replacing wood pulp with these rapidly-renewable non-wood materials, our natural resources can be used more efficiently.

As befits a product crafted from such natural materials, WASARA is fully biodegradable and compostable, even in home composting systems.
