Description
This Guinomi Sake Cup made by Seigado, a metalworking workshop in Niigata Prefecture, features a golden brown color. After copper is melted and made into a sheet, it is hammered into shape using a technique called "Tsuiki" to create a seamless piece. 

The inside is tin-plated as it is suitable for storing water and other liquids because of its ability to purify what is put inside. It is also suitable for enjoying the taste of alcohol itself since it does not retain any odor.

Guinomi

Guinomi are a type of sake cup. They are typically smaller than a Japanese teacup, and on the somewhat larger size for a sake cup. They are often used without a sake carafe, with sake poured directly from the bottle.

Originally guinomi were used to hold delicacies during Japanese tea ceremonies. At some point, people started to use them to pour and drink sake after enjoying the delicacies. This is believed to be the origin of guinomi. They therefore evolved over time alongside Japan’s tea culture.
