Sake Sets
When preparing to enjoy fine sake, start by choosing the right sake set. Sake is delicate—its flavor shifts with temperature and air, making the choice of carafe essential, whether a ceramic tokkuri, a metal chirori, or a graceful katakuchi. Pair them with cups that complement the sake, ochoko, guinomi, or sakazuki, each offering its own shape and character.
A well-chosen sake set transforms the simple act of pouring into a ritual, enhancing both flavor and atmosphere. Explore our collection to assemble a set that reflects your way of enjoying sake.
Gold
Gold was first discovered in Japan in the eighth century. Emperor Shomu (701 CE–756 CE) used it extensively to gild Buddha statues. The color gold came to evoke a sense of sacredness, nobility, and luxury. Japan places great emphasis on the sense of seasons, and gold is often associated with the bountiful autumn and the New Year, conveying a festive and auspicious atmosphere.
Real gold powder and paint is used in traditional Japanese decorative techniques like maki-e and kinsai for a brilliance and luxurious feel that only this material can bring.
