Shino ware is a type of Mino ware that was fired in Mino (Gifu Prefecture) during the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1573-1603) using a white glaze. They tend to range in color from milky white to orange, sometimes with charcoal grey spotting, known as "carbon trap" which is the trapping of carbon in the glaze during the firing process.
Firings of Shino tend to be of lower temperature for a longer period of time, and then a slow cooling process. Due to Shino glazes' low fluxing temperatures, they should be applied before any other glazes. These conditions do not allow the glaze to melt fully, and the result is a thick glaze that often has a crawling pattern.
This is a standard ramen bowl in Japan. It can be used for all kinds of noodles, including Udon and Soba.
