"Ozen" refers to a traditional Japanese dining style where a complete meal is served on a tray or set of lacquered plates. This style of dining is often associated with Kaiseki or multi-course meals. Each element of the meal, including rice, soup, pickles, and various small dishes, is meticulously arranged to create a visually appealing and balanced presentation. The emphasis is on seasonal ingredients, artful preparation, and the overall harmony of flavors. The term "ozen" is used to describe the presentation of a full, well-rounded meal in a compact and elegant manner, showcasing the culinary skills and aesthetics of Japanese cuisine.

Very beautiful condition ★★★★☆
* There are tiny scratches on the black underside when the light is shone on it, but overall it is in excellent condition, including the top surface.
* "OPTION B" has a slightly bent (tilted) bottom and does not sit snugly on the table. (This is a distortion of the natural wood.)
It is fine for carrying items as a tray, but not suitable for eating with a plate on it.
NO dishwasher.
