Moegi Green Sake Pot

This beautifully crafted sake pot features a vibrant moegi green glaze, reminiscent of the fresh, lively color of new sprouts. Moegi refers to an ancient green hue that has been used as a color name since the Heian period (794–1185 CE).

The lid is adorned with a delicate red lattice pattern, with intricate ajiro, woven bamboo, motifs subtly added into the intersections. This combination of patterns creates a harmonious contrast with the smooth green glaze.

Its refined square form is accented with subtle gold detailing, and the gracefully curved spout ensures a smooth and precise pour, making it perfect for serving both warm and chilled sake.

Both functional and decorative, this sake pot adds a refreshing and sophisticated touch to your sake-drinking experience. It is also perfect for serving green tea brewed at lower temperatures, such as sencha, offering versatility beyond sake.
