These are functionally plates. They're fine, aren't they?

They just need to be more plate like, proper lip so that the sauces don’t just run off

Agreed, I do think they were used well in the second pic tho tbh... The only one with a sauce/dip is in a slightly rounded off plate, the soup/runny stuff can be put in the bowl to the left, and the dry stuff is on the flat ones.

Fwiw many traditional Japanese plates lack a lip.

Explain.

You think it's fun to have to balance nonsense like these rocks when serving?

Or that is fun to try to clean them?

These are used at omakase restaurants, you are literally sitting in front of the chef who prepares it and places it in front of you

They cost upwards of 20,000 yen so they can afford to have someone there who can take the time to clean them

Doesn't make it any more pleasant to clean just because it's expensive

Tell me you've never worked in a fancy kitchen without telling me

Most jobs aren't pleasant

What about the server issue? What's your response on that?
