汁椀 is a bowl specifically designed for soup, particularly 味噌汁 and 吸い物. Traditional ones are made of wood with lacquer coating, though modern versions may be plastic or ceramic.
Features:
- Often comes with a lid (蓋)
- Has a foot (高台) to lift it off the table
- Designed to be held in the hand while eating
In Japanese dining, soup is drunk directly from the bowl rather than eaten with a spoon.
