Instead of rounded sides, the walls open out in a straight cone from a narrow foot. This shape is popular in Japanese ramen shops because it shows off the noodles and toppings, holds plenty of broth and cools the top layer slightly so it is easier to eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Ko-Imari style?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKo-Imari (古伊万里, \"old Imari\") refers to porcelain made around Arita in the Edo period and shipped from the port of Imari. It is known for underglaze blue painting combined with red and other overglaze colours, often arranged in panels. \"Ko-Imari style\" means the design is inspired by these antique pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Mino ware?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMino ware (Mino-yaki, 美濃焼) is pottery and porcelain made in the Mino region of Gifu Prefecture, central Japan.
