Description

This sakazuki sake cup creates the enchanting image of chrysanthemum flowers floating on water when filled with sake. Its thin porcelain rim feels exceptionally smooth against the lips, enhancing the delicate nuances of the sake's flavor.

The intricate chrysanthemum design is crafted using the Hirado chrysanthemum technique, a traditional method that involves forming each petal by hand. Artisans use a pointed bamboo tool to carve petals one by one from a lump of porcelain clay. After completing the first round of carving, the petals are delicately raised and arranged to form the chrysanthemum. Once glazed and fired, the petals transform from sharp, defined shapes into soft, natural-looking blooms.

Made from Amakusa ceramic stone sourced from Kumamoto, this sake cup is distinguished by its translucent white finish and subtle pearlescent texture, embodying both elegance and tradition.

Sakazuki Sake Cups

We have curated a collection of exquisite sakazuki sake cups from all over Japan, designed to enrich the blissful experience of savoring your favorite sake. The term "sakazuki" refers to any sake cup, though it traditionally describes a flat, plate-like vessel, representing the oldest style. Holding the cup delicately with both hands—grasping its sides and bottom—embodies the essence of Japanese sake culture.

Sakazuki cups typically contain just a few sips, and the beautifully adorned ones are treasured by collectors for their aesthetic appeal. Using a stunning sakazuki for a special sake, a celebratory occasion, or when hosting guests, will create an unforgettable moment.
