Sagara embarked on developing Reale in 2014 and started selling the tableware in Japan in November 2016. As of March 2019, it was on sale in Taiwan, mainland China and Australia as well. More than 20,000 Reale sets in total have been shipped up to April 2019.

Reale is an environmentally friendly, safe product made from natural Japanese bamboo, which needs to be harvested periodically for the purposes of protecting prolific bamboo forests from deteriorating and forestalling natural disasters. Its raw material excels in antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties unique to bamboo.

Its designs have been inspired by traditional silverware in Europe and the United States while its pale porcelain-like shades, which cannot be derived from petroleum-based raw materials but are unique to natural ingredients, add spice to the taste of food.

Furthermore, Reale is designed to be used by the whole family as it aims to help children readily enjoy dining by using the same kind of tableware as grownups do.
