[Sake Cup Infused with the Beauty of Hokuriku]
A collaboration with Echizen ware, a traditional craft from Fukui Prefecture. This exceptional piece features an ultra-thin lip—less than 1 millimeter thick—crafted entirely by hand using only the artisan's fingers, without trimming after wheel throwing, a feat once thought impossible in ceramics. To preserve the natural texture of the materials, genuine gold leaf is applied using lacquer as an adhesive. No topcoat is used, allowing the refined brilliance of the gold leaf to shine through to its fullest.

– Umami Sakazuki –

A larger-than-average sake cup designed to enhance the umami of sake—just as its name suggests. Its wide opening allows more of the poured sake to come in contact with air, softening the flavor and drawing out a deeper, more mellow character. This cup is ideal for savoring junmai sake varieties rich in umami, such as unfiltered genshu, unpasteurized namazake, or aged jukuseishu and koshu, which have been matured to bring out the full flavor of the rice. Delicate and smooth on the lips, this vessel—adorned with genuine gold leaf—offers the refined experience of sipping fine sake as though scooping the moon’s reflection from the water’s surface. Over time, the gold leaf will gently blend with the surface, gracefully fading along the cup’s contours to develop a unique patina. This evolving transformation turns the cup into a one-of-a-kind piece—an heirloom that reflects your personal journey. Enjoy a luxurious moment of indulgence as you explore the harmony between fine sake and a beautifully crafted vessel. Delivered in a custom-made wooden box. An excellent gift for sake enthusiasts or as a refined present for someone special.
