Do you know about slate plates?＊

This black dish that looks like it was cut out of rock is often seen in stylish restaurants and posts by food Instagrammers.

This plate, which adds a touch of sophistication to the dining table, is called a 《slate plate》＊

It is made by thinly slicing a type of stone called slate, and it has a textured, flat surface.

It gives off the atmosphere of dining in a high-end restaurant, which is pretty appealing, right?

But slate plates seem kind of expensive!

While slate plates are stylish...

There are probably few people who already use them for everyday meals at home or who often had them served at their parents' house.

You might think that it's an item that only very stylish homes have and that is out of reach for ordinary folks like yourself...

I used to think that way too, but recently I found a post that changed my perspective.

＼It seems you can get one for a great price at Nitori!／

The post is from 'Nitori,' a store that sells affordable and stylish home furnishings.

Among the tableware lined up for a natural and chic dining table, there it was, the coveted slate plate...!

This slate plate with cheese and crackers on it can actually be bought at Nitori.

What's more, the price starts from just 498 yen, making it super affordable.

Using Nitori's slate plates makes for such a stylish setup ♡

They have a luxurious feel that makes them hard to believe they are budget-friendly.

You'll want to get multiple plates in different sizes.

It's amazing that you can actually buy a slate plate at Nitori. To think you can snag that desired tableware for under 500 yen is quite surprising.

And then I discovered...!!!

After doing more research, I found even more budget-friendly shops selling them. Let me summarize them for you＊

3coins, a popular shop often featured on marry, is a go-to for brides, and it has a great selection of kitchen goods, including slate plates! ♡

The price is of course 300 yen. They seem to have both square and round types.

Shops selling slate plates② Daiso

While slate plates have a luxurious look, they can actually be found at the commoner's ally, the 100 yen shop.

Daiso offers three types: long, round, and square coasters. The plates are slightly smaller, making them perfect for serving salads or desserts.

The idea of writing directly on the plate is something unique to slate plates! ♡
