Yazaemon Old Imari Sakura Sake Set

Although small in size, one can appreciate the detailed and elegant patterns of the old Imari style crafted on this sake set. 

The deep blue comes from the signature technique known as sometsuke where a blue underglaze is first given to the product.

After the first glaze, the carafe and cups are hand painted with the festive sakura patterns. The gold outlines accentuate the patterns and highlights the fine drawings of the flowers and other detailed designs. 

The wide shape of the cup gives a mellow taste to the sake, and the thin and smooth texture of the porcelain will let you enjoy the full flavor of sake with each sip.
