I’ve had success finding bowls that are smaller for miso soup or rice, or the porcelain bowls, but I’ve been scouring google for bigger bowls for donburi, with the lid, without success. These bowls appear to be plastic, but may be urushi (lacquered) however I think that unlikely. I’d prefer the plastic anyways, but either way, I can’t find
Thank you!
I’d guess they would probably be called a donburi bowl, if that helps with your search efforts. As for where to buy, that may depend on where you live as to which shops may be more ideal to recommend
Most likely find on Amazon and perhaps international Rakuten.
Also, it may require a road trip, but Mitsuwa Market would have them.
“Donburi bowl with lid” seems to work with Amazon.

Since some shops in Amazon ships overseas, might as well check [amazon.co.jp](https://amazon.co.jp) as well.
The search term should be like “どんぶり 蓋” JFYI.
Check out https://mtckitchen.com/ and https://utsuwa.us/?v=f24485ae434a great selections of Japanese tableware from Japan. 99% of my dishes are from those two places.
Daiso I believe
This bowl has very similar proportions though different style:

It’s made by Fukui Craft, a large producer of kitchen supplies
In the catlog its 6-259-3, it looks like Fukui craft may have been bought, and their parts renumbered. So that style may have been cut.

Sometimes these are custom pieces so you may not be able to order it.
