Why this platter earns its place
The Takashi range from APS is handmade Japanese glassware for restaurants that take plating seriously. This 260×130mm board in French grey is the most refined format in the range — long and narrow, almost architectural. The tinted glass adds warmth and intentionality to the service without competing with the food.
French grey is a colour choice that signals thoughtfulness. The subtle tone frames plating beautifully in contemporary restaurants, fine-dining establishments and modern Japanese kitchens. It's more forgiving than clear glass while still remaining elegant and restrained. At 600g, the board is lighter than the larger formats but still feels genuinely made, with the handmade quality that speaks to guests.
The linear 260×130mm shape is distinctive — it suits presentation-focused plating where the board itself becomes part of the visual composition. Sushi, sashimi, a line of canapés, or a single elegant protein with minimal garnish all come alive on this format. Stackable for efficient storage, dishwasher safe for daily service, and built to last years in a busy kitchen. This is the board for menus where every element has been considered and nothing is there by accident.
