MARUBUN SHOP

Founded in 1891 in Arita-cho, Nishimatsuura-gun, Saga Prefecture, Marubun Co., Ltd. is a company that has long engaged in wholesale of tableware centered on Arita porcelain and shop operations. From the original color-painted sales business at founding, it expanded business to nationwide wholesale — and today has developed into a comprehensive tableware company handling in-house brand development, retail, and online store operation.

On the official site, together with the message "When vessels are filled, hearts are also filled," daily small happiness born from having vessels — mugs, plates, rice bowls — is spoken of. One place embodying that philosophy is the physical store "MARUBUN SHOP & BAKERY CAFE" within Arita Sera. In a comfortable wood-based space, you can enjoy original Arita porcelain, cutlery, and glass tableware together with freshly baked bread and drinks.

The online store "MARUBUN SHOP" widely develops original brands and select items — as a place where you can experience such physical store worldview at home. The representative "Ultimate Ramen Bowl" — plus UTSUA, ZOA, PORCHETTO, ZEPHYR — collections that balance design fitting modern dining tables and usability are gathered.

In the shop, various-taste vessels are selected — from classical Arita porcelain where the beauty of color painting stands out to minimal plates leveraging white porcelain and nuance colors. In addition to standard items — rice bowls, teacups, chopstick rests — cafe-style mugs and bowls, cutlery and sundries are also widely handled — totally supporting the daily life of "vessel lovers."

Also, as a company, by joint investment in the brand "2016/" launched at the 400th anniversary of Arita porcelain, the company also participates in regional producing-region brand building. Through vessel making combining artisan skills and the sensibility of domestic and overseas designers, initiatives exploring new possibilities for Arita porcelain are also conducted. By balancing the wholesale network cultivated since founding and the consumer perspective through shops, cafes, and online stores, the company continues to propose "dining tables where vessels become the lead" and "time when hearts are filled."
