Nousaku sake cup (in paulownia wood box) e00101

This sake cup is made from 100% tin casting. Among the many sake cups available, its standard and understated shape makes it a consistently popular choice. Tin has been used since ancient times for sake and tea utensils, with beliefs such as "water in a tin vessel never spoils" and "it removes impurities from sake, making it smoother." A classic, closed-mouth sake cup is perfect for fresh, refreshing, and smooth sake. This particular cup is surprisingly well-suited to refreshing types of sake, such as regular sake, honjozo sake, and nama-zake (unpasteurized sake). Its versatile shape makes it easy to pair with other types of sake as well, so if you're buying your first Nousaku tin sake cup, this all-around excellent choice is highly recommended. Each cup is handcrafted by artisans, resulting in a soft, comfortable feel in the hand and a sense of warmth. It comes in a paulownia wood box, making it an ideal gift.
