Best Rice Bowls of 2025

"I absolutely love these bowls. They are quality porcelain made in traditional Japanese style with beautifully mixed patterns. They are restaurant quality and a pleasure to use and display. I've also purchased other items from Saikai, and the quality is always impeccable. Great company!"

"I took a chance on these bowls because we lost some of our favorite snacks bowls. They turned out to be just perfect for savory snacks like chips and nuts, and they would work well for rice servings too!"

"The bowls are gorgeous and well made. Although one arrived damaged, the other four are in amazing condition. I'm keeping them because I truly love them, but I do want to warn others to be prepared for potential issues."

"I really enjoy these bowls for rice. They’re the perfect size for porridge and oatmeal too. They seem very sturdy and hold up just fine in the dishwasher. However, I was a bit concerned about how they were packed during shipping. Most bowls had a foam separator, but some didn’t, making it difficult to separate them without effort. Overall, I’d definitely buy these again for my home or as a gift."

"After dropping and breaking some bone china bowls, I bought these porcelain ones. They are thicker and heavier, which makes them look a bit less refined. While porcelain isn’t as durable as bone china, they’re perfectly fine for everyday use. I do miss the Fitz and Floyd Naveah White rice bowls that are no longer in production, but I’m adjusting to these."

"I bought these bowls thinking they’d be a little larger, but they’re quite small. Despite that, the quality is excellent. My kids use them for cereal, and we serve dips and snacks in them. Overall, they are very practical and well-made."

"When these arrived, my wife and I were blown away. The glazing is perfect and beautiful, the size is perfect, and the sauce plates are very well made. Overall, this set of bowls is way better than expected at this price point. It's a great value, plus it came incredibly well packaged."

"I was a bit disappointed when I received my bowls today. While they are nice, they are much smaller than they looked online. I’m still deciding whether to keep them or not."

"I recently purchased the 8-piece Japanese Fuji Blue Style ceramic set and I’m very pleased with its quality and aesthetics. The set, which includes four bowls and four small plates, has a beautiful dark blue glaze that adds a Zen-like atmosphere to my dining table. Each piece is hand-painted, making it unique and it perfectly matches my existing dinnerware. The bowls are just right for serving various dishes. Unfortunately, one bowl arrived broken, but the remaining pieces are so beautiful and functional that I decided to keep the set. The customer service offered a full refund, which I appreciated. I definitely recommend this set for anyone looking to add a touch of traditional Japanese elegance to their meals."

"I absolutely love the shape and the portion control feature!"

"The design is very attractive and fun to use. Even though they’re dishwasher safe, I prefer to hand wash them since they seem a bit fragile."

"These bowls are a great addition to my dining set! I really appreciate the vibrant color and well-made base. They’re the perfect size for rice and look elegant on the table!"

"I recently bought a professional rice cooker, and the Inomata Japanese Rice Washing Bowls have been a fantastic addition to my kitchen. They make washing rice easier with their simple yet effective design, featuring a built-in strainer that allows for effortless draining. I find the size perfect for larger batches, and the durable, well-made material has made them an essential part of my rice-cooking routine. I highly recommend them!"

"After deep-diving into reviews of rice cookers, I learned the importance of rinsing rice. I bought this bowl, and it was a great decision. It's constructed perfectly to rinse and drain rice without losing grains. While a few grains may stick, it's much easier to clean than a mesh colander. I even use it for vegetables after rinsing rice. Totally worth the price!"

"I ordered these bowls for washing rice since we cook a lot of Asian dishes. Washing rice in a regular bowl is messy, but this bowl keeps all the rice contained while allowing for easy swirling. It's also versatile enough to use in place of a colander for soaking or rinsing other foods. I find that they are light, manageable, and eco-friendly. Definitely worth the investment!"

"My son absolutely loves this bowl. As a big Pokémon fan, he admires the colors and artwork. It's durable, a great value for the money, and just the right size for his ramen."

"I bought this as a Christmas gift and my little one was thrilled! She especially enjoyed having both a spoon and chopsticks. The bowl is a nice size, and I was surprised to find out it's not plastic."

"I ordered three different designs for myself, my mom, and a friend. These bowls are truly nice-looking and thick. The ceramic spoon is sturdy, and even though the chopsticks are standard, they’ll last a while. This bowl is perfect for ramen of various sizes!"

"I needed small bowls and these were perfect. They are beautiful, well-priced, and ideal for small treats and ice cream. The packing was wonderful, and they exceeded my expectations. I might even give them as gifts because they're so useful. They clean nicely in the dishwasher or by hand."

"I've been using these rice bowls since 1986 when I lived in Taiwan. They were a staple for every meal. The designs are nicely illustrated, and although we've had a few breaks over the years, I bought these as a Christmas present for my wife, and she absolutely enjoys them."

"I absolutely love these rice bowls! They are a bit smaller than I expected, but they are gorgeous and well-made. The packing was impressive, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase!"

"This is the best rice! My Costco stopped selling it, but I'm so glad I can still find it online. It’s the only instant rice I’ve come across that has just rice as an ingredient. I can’t cook rice well on my own, so this is perfect for me. Just 90 seconds in the microwave and it's ready without being crunchy or weird. I really need this rice!"

"I really enjoy this brown rice. It has a great taste and is ready in no time. Sometimes I don’t have time to cook, so I always keep these on hand. It microwaves quickly and tastes good. I did give it 4 stars for taste because it's a bit more bland than traditional rice, but overall, I like it a lot! It's affordable and handy."

"I absolutely love this rice! It’s just basic brown rice in a convenient and ready-to-eat form. As a single person, it’s ideal since I don’t have to worry about leftovers. It costs about $2.65 per bowl, but the convenience is worth it. If it’s ever too dry, I just add a little water, and it soaks it right up. I often have it as a full meal, adding cheese or leftover meat—it's delicious!"

"I’m absolutely thrilled with the quality of these bowls! Each one has its own unique color and texture. They’re small and incredibly cute. I’d highly recommend them!"

"These bowls are not just beautiful; they’re quite versatile too! We use them for everything from snacks to condiments. They’re substantial and clean easily with regular dish soap."

"I bought these bowls for parties, and I’m a big fan of their size and colors. They’re great for various uses and I love that they’re pottery—they match well with my serving dishes!"

"I absolutely love this bowl! The quality is great and it's super easy to clean. I've been handwashing mine, and so far, the design hasn't faded at all!"

"I got this Hello Kitty ramen bowl for my daughter, and she absolutely adores it! The matching chopsticks are such a nice touch, making it a fun and practical gift."

"This bowl is just adorable and perfect for my daughter. She loves ramen and Hello Kitty, and it’s good quality with a great size. Definitely worth the money!"
