KUMI Rice & Noodle Bowls, Japanese Style, by blomus — Flared, reactive-glazed stoneware bowls in four sizes, from a 1.5 oz soy dish to a 26 oz noodle bowl.
Part of KUMI, the Japanese-inspired, reactive-glazed stoneware collection from the German design house blomus.
The Design Story
These are the shapes of a Japanese meal: a rice bowl to lift in one hand, a deeper bowl for broth and a tiny dish for soy sauce. KUMI is a studio blomus design, created by the brand’s own team in Sundern.
KUMI is blomus looking east. The forms are Japanese in origin and the surface comes from reactive glazing, a process that never repeats itself: the glaze reacts to oxygen in the kiln and settles into its own pattern of flecks and shading on every piece. According to blomus, the name is a Japanese word for eternal beauty. Two natural colors, dark-brown Espresso and mushroom-toned Fungi, are made to sit side by side.
Why You’ll Love It
The flared shape is comfortable to cup in your palms. The large bowl gives ramen or a poke bowl proper depth. Sold singly, the sizes are easy to combine. The speckled glaze makes plain food look good.
Made for Real Life
Dishwasher and microwave safe, according to blomus. Dots, flecks and uneven tones come from the reactive glaze and differ on every piece; blomus notes that KUMI gains character with use over time. Pairs well with the plates, sharing bowl, tea cup.

Questions We Hear Most
Which KUMI bowl is the rice bowl?
The Small bowl: 4.7" across, 8 fl oz, sized to hold in one hand.
What is the tiny KUMI bowl for?
The X-Small bowl holds 1.5 fl oz and is meant for soy sauce; it also suits dips, salt or wasabi.
Can KUMI bowls be used for hot soup?
Yes, they are stoneware and microwave safe.
Why can the KUMI bowls show specks or uneven color?
That is the reactive glaze at work. It reacts to oxygen in the kiln, so each piece comes out with its own markings.
What style of home suits the KUMI bowls?
Japandi, wabi-sabi, rustic modern and minimalist interiors, and any table built around natural, earthy tones.
When will my KUMI bowls leave the warehouse?
In-stock orders usually leave within 2–3 business days.

Why We Love It
No two pieces match exactly, and that is the point: KUMI brings wabi-sabi calm to an everyday table. From a small town in Germany’s old steel region, the Blome family has gone from bicycle parts (1921) to metal gifts (1961) to the design label blomus (2000), still family-run in its fourth generation. LoftModern is an authorized blomus retailer.
