The Legacy of Mino Ware, Japan’s Largest Ceramic Production Region
Mino ware is one of Japan’s most historic and distinguished ceramic traditions, with a history spanning over 1,300 years. Located in the eastern part of Gifu Prefecture, the Mino region has developed into Japan’s largest ceramic production area, renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, advanced techniques, and diverse styles.
For centuries, generations of artisans have refined their skills, creating ceramics that combine beauty, functionality, and innovation. This rich heritage has made Mino ware an essential part of Japanese dining culture and a symbol of the excellence of Japanese craftsmanship.
Founded in 1919 in Tajimi City, the heart of the Mino ware region, HIBINO has dedicated more than a century to providing professional tableware for chefs, restaurants, and hospitality industries.
With deep roots in this historic production region, we continue to preserve the spirit of Mino ware while creating tableware that meets the evolving needs of modern gastronomy. Through HIBINO JAPAN, we bring the tradition, craftsmanship, and beauty of Mino ware to chefs and luxury dining destinations around the world.
