Oborozuki Lacquered Sake Cup – Size L【Free Shipping】
An Elegant Tableware Piece Depicting a Hazy Moon in Gold Leaf
Crafted from natural Japanese Zelkova, delicately shaved by skilled wood artisans, this refined piece features a poetic moon rendered solely in gold leaf by expert foil artisans. The faintly shadowed form captures a subtle, emotional beauty.
Originally designed as a sake cup, it also serves beautifully as a small dish for side items or condiments. Its graceful presence enhances both Japanese and Western table settings, and it is also admired as a decorative plate.

More than just visual beauty, this piece is designed to suit today’s living spaces. It combines warmth with sharp, modern form.
The natural wood grain becomes a serene landscape, enhanced by a gold-leaf moon — a minimalist design that balances elegance and presence.
This tableware is the result of expert craftsmanship: the wood is finely shaped by seasoned artisans, lacquered to bring out its natural beauty, and finished with a softly gleaming moon expressed through gold leaf alone, creating the impression of a moon suspended in a quiet night sky.

- Crafted with Carefully Selected Natural Materials
- The Oborozuki sake cup is made with a deep respect for natural materials. Each piece is carved from dense wood that has grown slowly in cold climates, chosen for its fine grain and strength. The wood is cut and shaped with precision to bring out its most beautiful grain patterns. Even after carving, great care is taken during the drying process—an essential step that ensures durability and brings out the true character of the wood. This commitment to quality is what gives the sake cup its refined beauty and warmth.
- A Masterful Fusion of Traditional Craftsmanship The plate is a culmination of skilled artisanry. A seasoned woodturner carves the wood into a thin, elegant form, then finishes it with layers of lacquer that enhance the natural beauty of the material. The lacquer, reminiscent of a quiet and peaceful night sky, is applied through a meticulous process of repeatedly rubbing in and wiping off the urushi. This technique gradually builds up the deep, lustrous black characteristic of high-quality lacquerware. The moon is created by a master of gold leafing, who uses only genuine gold to depict a gently shadowed, atmospheric moon—an expression of subtle beauty and emotional depth.
- Elevate Everyday Dining with Subtle Elegance The sharp silhouette of the Oborozuki plate brings a modern sophistication to your everyday meals. Imagine a simple yet charming serving of temari sushi—small, ball-shaped sushi you can easily prepare at home. When arranged on the plate, even a casual dish transforms into something festive and refined. From between the pieces of sushi, the soft golden glow of the moon peeks through. As each piece is served, more of the moon gradually appears—creating a moment of quiet beauty and turning an ordinary table into a poetic scene.
