Kit for making your own tin sake cups

Feature 1 of the sake cup kit

Traditional crafts you can make yourself

This set of 100% tin drinking cups was made in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, known as the best casting town in Japan. Since the Edo period (1603-1868), Takaoka's cast metal has had a history of more than 400 years, and as the times have changed, various items have been produced using tin as a material.

Among these, Nosaku 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.

This sake cup kit is a unique product that allows you to add your own patterns to the design. It is sure to become your own special sake cup.

Feature 2 of the sake cup kit

Tin has excellent properties as tableware

One of the advantages of tin is its thermal conductivity. One of the most attractive features of tin is that it keeps the temperature of hot or cold food for a long time. Another advantage is that tin has an ionic effect, which helps to remove the unpleasant taste of water and alcohol, making the taste seem mellower. Furthermore, tin is a metal that does not deteriorate easily, rusts little, and has excellent moisture resistance.

Tin is used for tableware because it is a material that can make the most of its characteristics. You can see why various types of tin drinking vessels, such as tumblers and cups, are made in addition to sake cups.

Feature 3 of the sake cup kit

Hammering pattern that can be easily inserted

"Tsuchime" is a pattern created by striking with a hammer. Various patterns are created depending on the amount of force applied and the strength of the hammering. The individual patterns are unique and original. It will be the only one of its kind in the world.

The procedure is very simple.
(1) Place the tin gulping cup over the resin work cup with the bottom up.
(2) Tap the bottom part of the gulping cup, starting from the center, to make a pattern.
(3) On the side, take the entire work cup in your hand, and make a pattern from the bottom to the mouth of the cup.

You may think it takes a lot of strength, but tin is so soft that you can easily make patterns on it. Even a child's strength is enough. This item is recommended not only for men but also for women.

Shape and size that fits well in the hand

The capacity of the sake cup is 2.03 oz(60ml), the same as the capacity of a standard sake cup. Each gūnyomi weighs approximately 0.18 lbs (80g), making it heavier than ceramic or glass sake cups. The size is about 2.01 in. (5.1cm) high and the diameter of the mouth is about 2.24 in. (5.7cm). 2.24 in. (5.7cm) wide from the bottom to the mouth, which makes it easy to hold in the hand and smoothly carry in the mouth again and again.

We would like to take advantage of the unique characteristics of tin to enjoy crisply chilled sake over a long period of time. Sake that tastes best at room temperature or lukewarm can also be kept at the proper temperature for a long time.
