Maker / Brand
Taniguchi Seidojo, the company behind the creation of HANASAKA, has been devoted to supporting Kutani ware since their establishment in 1951. They have developed tableware products with high whiteness, thinness, translucency, robustness, and smooth porcelain surfaces. To achieve this, they utilize the Kutani ware production technology of firing at high temperature without using synthetic glaze. While traditional Kutani ware products are characterized by colorful and profoundly brilliant patterns created by the overglaze painting process, the simple and modern HANASAKA brand, based on white porcelain and minimalist colors, is designed to match the modern table.
Crafts
Kutani ware is a pottery produced in the Kaga region of Ishikawa Prefecture, with a history spanning over 350 years. It is characterized by the heavy brilliance of the five colors of navy blue, red, purple, green, and yellow that are applied to the bold and daring lines. Its long history has evolved through the tireless efforts and enthusiasm of people who have sought innovation while maintaining tradition.

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.
