I would like to add some Japanese teaware (Senchado) to my existing items (kyusu and teacup), though I’m struggling to find a vendor that sells all of the items I wish to purchase. Items include: yuzamashi, kensui, a rest for the lid of the kyusu, a large enough tray to hold all the items; and I don’t have a thermometer so that would be a bonus (though I can probably get one at local Kitchen stores). I have a variable temp kettle, but I believe one method is to boil the water first and cool it by pouring into the yuzamashi.
I don’t need hand made (expensive) items, but I want them to be made for senchado, as opposed to repurposing soup bowls.
I’ve looked at Ocha, Maiko, Artistic Nippon, and several other vendors...doesn’t seem like a vendor sells all of these items (only some).
