Sake Sets
When preparing to savor delicious sake, it’s important to consider the sake set as well. Sake is a delicate drink whose flavor changes depending on temperature and exposure to air. To enhance your experience, select a sake cup and carafe that complement both the unique qualities of the sake and your personal taste.
Yoshidaya
The Yoshidaya style, one of the most celebrated traditional styles of Kutani ware, was pioneered by Yoshidaya Denemon in 1824. This style, inheriting the ko-Kutani tradition, distinguishes itself by using an exclusive palette of four colors—yellow, green, navy blue and purple—deliberately avoiding red. The designs are intricate, featuring a main motif set against a background pattern and expressed through layers of overglaze to create a sense of depth and complexity.
Despite the Yoshidaya Kiln closing its doors after just seven years, its works have garnered the highest accolades in late Edo period (1603 CE–1868 CE) Kutani ware.
