Okame Sauce Plate
This Japanese sauce plate features the humorous okame (female) and hyottoko (male) masks, traditionally used as clown-like characters in kagura—a sacred dance and song dedicated to the gods at Shinto shrines. These masks are believed to bring good fortune and ward off evil.
With its perfect size for sauces, this plate is also versatile for serving cheese, nuts, condiments, and other small bites. It can be used creatively by placing a small portion of food or relishes on it, then setting it on a larger plate or inside a bento box for a stylish and sophisticated presentation.
A wonderful gift for yourself or a loved one, bringing both charm and tradition to any dining experience.
