Sake cup feature 2

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 an ionic effect, which helps to mellow the taste of water and sake by removing impurities. In addition, tin is resistant to rust and has excellent moisture proofing properties. This explains why various types of tin drinking vessels are made, such as sake cups, cups for sake drinking, and tumblers.

The set includes two types of sake cups: a silver-colored one made entirely of tin and a gold-colored one with gold leaf on the inside. The gold and silver shine beautifully and give a very festive impression. The slightly uneven nashiji (pear-like) texture of the cups also gives them a luxurious feel, making them an excellent item that you will want to use on special occasions.

You will want to use this item when you and your family, or when you have guests over to enjoy good conversation and a delicious meal while sipping sake slowly. The bright shine of this item will add a touch of color to your dining table.

Details of cups1

Enjoy a little bit of sake like a cup of sake

The sake cup is characterized by a shape that expands from the bottom to the mouth, making it very smooth to the palate. Unlike the inside of the sake cup, which has a gentle curve, the outside has an edgy shape that gives it a sophisticated look.

With a capacity of approximately 45ml, it is the same size as a standard Ochoko. It is ideal for enjoying your favorite sake slowly, whether it is cold or hot.

Because it is made of metal, it feels more solid and heavier than glass or ceramic drinking vessels, so it is also more stable in the hand.

Also, sake cups have long been used in Shinto rituals and other occasions. Because of its festive impression, it is a gift that is sure to please when presented as a congratulatory gift.

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.
