[SAKE BOTTLE] KATAKUCHI-LARGE & GUINOMI 2 PIECES (WITH PAULOWNIA BOX) | TAKAOKA BRONZE CASTING

Characteristics of Sake Vessels1

Traditional crafts reborn in a modern way

This 100% tin tumbler is made in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, known as the best casting town in Japan. Since the Edo period (1603-1867), the history of cast metal in Takaoka has been more than 400 years, and as times have changed, various items have been produced using tin as the material of choice.

Among these, Nousaku is a brand that continues to produce well-designed products that are in line with the times, based on free ideas that are not bound by stereotypes.

Characteristics of Sake Vessels2

Tin with excellent properties as a drinking vessel

Tin is a material often used as a "sake cup" that can take full advantage of its properties. One of its advantages is its thermal conductivity. Its greatest feature is that it keeps hot food warm and cold food colder.

Tin also has excellent resistance to rust and moisture. This explains why various types of tin drinking vessels, such as sake cups, cups for sake drinking, and tumblers, are made from tin.

Characteristics of Sake Vessels3

Sophisticated and stylish design

The katakuchi and ochoko have a simple and sophisticated design. The wide-open shape of the kataguchi is stylish only because it is made of metal. The elegant silver color of the tin itself adds a sparkle to the dining table.

It matches any table setting, from simple tableware to heavy tableware. The pearskin texture also gives a nice, calm impression.

It is also useful when you want to enjoy an evening drink with your family or a couple, or when entertaining guests. It is also recommended for use at festive occasions such as New Year's.

High stability and ease of pouring

Tin drinking vessels, both katakuchi and guinomi, have a weight that feels heavy in the hand. Therefore, they are characterized by a high sense of stability even when placed on a table.

The capacity of the katakuchi is approximately 280 ml, which can hold a generous amount of sake (more than 1 cup). The capacity of the sake cup is approximately 70ml, which is a standard capacity. This sake cup is perfect for when you want to savor delicious sake slowly with a meal.

The narrow spout on one side makes it easy to pour small amounts of sake at a time. Even after pouring, sake does not drip down the spout, making it an excellent functional product.

Comes in a luxurious paulownia wood box

The sake set arrives in a luxurious paulownia wood box, making it a good choice for home use or as a gift. The name of the brand is foil-stamped on the lid of the box, giving it a luxurious feel.

A mini pamphlet with an explanation of the brand is also enclosed, showing that this is an excellent product that makes full use of traditional techniques cultivated in Japanese culture. Since there is also an explanation in English, we recommend this as a gift for people overseas.
