Soybean bowls

Soy sauce bowls are a necessary accessory for Japanese and fusion restaurants, as well as any other menu offerings like sushi. They are traditionally shaped like a small, deep saucer, allowing for the ability to fill the dish with whatever Japanese sauce is required. Besides soy sauce, these small bowls are also used to present teriyaki sauce, gyoza sauce, and sweet and sour sauce in Chinese dishes. The best way to eat foods that require this type of sauce is to place them in soy sauce bowls to avoid mixing the flavors on the plate. In the case of Japanese cuisine, this would be very complicated, as sushi is presented on raised wooden boards that don't allow for the pouring of sauces. The correct way to eat sushi is by dipping the fish part in soy sauce, for which the soy sauce dish is ideal. Versatile for the table and the kitchen, this small bowl, mini bowl, or saucer—however you might call it—specially designed for soy sauce, can be used to present all kinds of sauces, but also vinaigrettes, dips for potatoes and other snacks, as well as appetizers and snacks.
