Mame-dare is often used in Japanese kaiseki cuisine. For example, it is used to put pickles and condiments on. Japanese cuisine has a unique custom of serving dishes with different flavors on separate plates. This allows one to directly taste the flavor of each dish and ingredient. Another interesting aspect of Japanese cuisine is the ability to add seasonings and other ingredients on the spot to personalize the dish to one's own taste.

Another use is to put accessories in the bowl. This way of cooking is very popular in Japan.
