Ochoko

An ochoko is a small sake cup, usually holding a bit more than a sakazuki and accommodating two to three sips. Originally, ochoko sake cups were used as kobachi small bowls for side dishes. However, around the mid-Edo period (1603 CE–1868 CE), they began to be used at sake gatherings, where people would start with a sakazuki and then switch to an ochoko as the evening went on.

Ochoko sake cups come in various materials and shapes. The sake cups included in sake sets are commonly ochoko sake cups.

White

White carries the essence of purity, cleanliness, and sophistication. White tableware's achromatic simplicity and reflective nature blend seamlessly into any setting, enhancing table design with a modern, clean charm and creating a feeling of spaciousness and light.

In Japan, shiro iro, the color white, is held in high esteem, symbolizing sanctity and divinity. This color permeates Japanese culture, from the revered white horses and deer, symbols of auspiciousness, to the soft, snow-like petals of the unohana flower praised by the poets of the Heian period (794 CE–1158 CE).
