At the same time, Kadowaki Glass continually introduces fresh designs and expands into new markets, driven by an unceasing quest for perfection.

Crafts
Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is also a hub of craftsmanship. Among its many traditions, Edo Glass and Edo Kiriko are types of glassware that have been passed down for around 200 years in Edo—the former name for central Tokyo.
Their luminous surfaces echo centuries of craftsmanship, born in what was once Edo and still thriving in modern Tokyo.

Guinomi
Guinomi are a type of sake cup, smaller than a typical Japanese teacup but somewhat larger than other sake cups. They are often used without a sake carafe, with sake poured directly from the bottle.
Guinomi originally held delicacies during Japanese tea ceremonies, but in time came to be used for drinking sake afterward. They have therefore evolved alongside Japan’s unique tea culture.
