    Not "serving" so much as division for the different foods in the meal. Possible restaurant ware.

    I just responded to another thread about a divided plate. This one is a little different being Japanese. The raised divides are there so sauces and foods don't marry and run into each other. Japanese style service traditionally dislikes different flavored dishes touching each other. Lots of small plates and or bento boxes are used to highlight and shine on each dish presented. They taste great together don't get me wrong but there is a cleaner straightforward presentation that can be a welcome change from the muddling of flavors you may be used to.

    A simple presentation for that dish would be a grilled meat or seafood centered in the middle of the largest section. A small miso or rice vinegar based salad in the top left and few pieces of fried tempura on top of a piece of rice paper at the top right. Of course you would also have separate covered bowls of Miso soup and steamed rice and maybe a small dish of pickles.

    Is it smaller than the usual dinner plate (hard to tell from your photo and you don't mention size)? If so, it could have been meant for a child. Children's dishes were often divided.
