Description

This is a beautiful ochoko sake cup featuring an abstract pattern of chrysanthemums, one of the representative motifs of Tobe ware. The combination of deep red color and shades of indigo gives a sense of modern taste. You can feel the warmth of hand-painting from the patterns using nature motifs.

Baizan Kiln's traditional designs are timeless and comforting. Not only for drinking sake, this sake cup can also be used to serve small portions of side dishes, or placed on a larger plate or in a bento box for a stylish and sophisticated presentation.

Baizan Kiln, the oldest existing kiln in Tobe City, Ehime Prefecture, Japan, is cherished for its creations featuring simple yet dynamic brushstrokes and a sturdy, robust form. Its warm white porcelain pieces are adorned with deep indigo and colorful patterns, and their thick, solid shapes evoke a sense of unpretentious, wholesome beauty. In 1976, Baizan Kiln was officially recognized as a traditional craft by the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry.

Ochoko Sake Cups

Ochoko is a relatively small sake cup, typically holding more liquid than a sakazuki, with a capacity of 2-3 sips. Originally, ochoko was used as a kobachi "small bowl," but it is said to have transitioned into a sake cup during parties in the mid-Edo period (1603 CE–1868 CE).
