KOMLA veil — Midnight (Black)
Beautiful, reusable — made from paper. KOMLA veil layers natural urushi over paper. At about 14g, it is washable, while its polished 1 mm rim feels almost absent at the lips.
A working selection of tableware, in-room objects and service ideas, gathered from makers across Japan for hotels and restaurants building a Japanese experience.
HINODE is not a manufacturer. It selects, combines and edits work from makers across Japan — across regions and categories — around the experience a hotel wants to create. Not limited to any one maker or product, the range widens from here.
Black tableware for fine dining, chef's tables and lounges
KUROKO COLLECTION is curated by HINODE under one idea: to let the dish take center stage.
Because HINODE is not a manufacturer, it can propose from a broad range of choices across Japan — plates, bowls, glasses, cups, chopsticks and washi — tailored to each restaurant's cuisine, space, brand and budget.
Two pieces in black.

Natural stone texture, captured in Japanese Arita porcelain. This 24 cm square plate reveals subtle changes in its surface as the viewing angle shifts. The shaped edge and foot support a lightweight form and one-handed service. 240 × 240 × H12 mm.
In-room objects for every hour of the guest's stay
In a luxury hotel, hospitality is not only a beautifully prepared room. The guest arrives, enjoys something small and sweet, gets ready, spends a quiet hour with someone, rests at the end of the day.
Beyond the Stay looks at each of those hours and turns the stay itself into a better experience — respecting the brand, culture and service each hotel already has, and settling into it naturally.
Three pieces, all Masuda Kiribako.
One box, shaped by the moment. Its lid becomes a two-angle mirror, uniting storage, grooming and order in a hotel room.
A raised and recessed board and easy-grip octagonal pieces invite hotel guests to put down their phones, share a game, and reconnect face to face.
Hospitality felt in opening. A light, humidity-regulating paulownia box; tiny diagonal cuts at each lid corner make lifting easy.
A single sip, before the meal begins
We combine vessel, pouring vessel, presentation and service to turn a restaurant's existing culinary philosophy into a short experience before the meal.
Chef chooses the dashi. Guest chooses the vessel. We design the moment.
Two vessel choices for the guest — the deliberate contrast the concept is built on.
Captivating from the first touch. Yamanaka artisans turn mizume wood into TOHKA's slender form and thin rim — a clear finish reveals the grain, with surprising lightness at the lips.
Breathtakingly thin — even light passes through. Fuji is Arita porcelain with a rim under 1 mm, fired at 1,300°C for 13 hours, light, strong and translucent.
