Sakazuki
We have curated a collection of exquisite sakazuki sake cups from all over Japan, designed to enrich the blissful experience of savoring your favorite sake. The term "sakazuki" refers to any sake cup, though it traditionally describes a flat, plate-like vessel, representing the oldest style. Holding the cup delicately with both hands—grasping its sides and bottom—embodies the essence of Japanese sake culture.
Sakazuki cups typically contain just a few sips, and the beautifully adorned ones are treasured by collectors for their aesthetic appeal. Using a stunning sakazuki for a special sake, a celebratory occasion, or when hosting guests, will create an unforgettable moment.
