Small plates

Small plates, also known as bean plates or oteshozara, are items that have been popular since ancient times. Originally, they were used to hold seasonings such as salt and soy sauce, but now they can be used in a variety of ways, such as to hold side dishes or pickles, or to arrange them on a tray or tray to hold small amounts of side dishes. You can also use them for dessert time by putting cookies, small cakes, and Japanese sweets on them.
