Description

This Bizen ware sake set, including a unique gourd-shaped sake carafe, features a pattern called goma "sesame." The coarse texture, exquisite colors, and patterns produced by the kiln's flames are remarkable examples of Bizen ware, celebrated as "the art of clay and fire."

The goma pattern, named after the Japanese word for "sesame," is a distinctive feature of this ceramic art. It emerges when pine wood, used in the kiln firing process, is reduced to ash. This ash adheres to the ceramics, forming a pattern akin to a sprinkling of sesame seeds. The uniqueness of each firing results in distinct patterns, ensuring that every piece is a one-of-a-kind work of art.

The microscopic pores inside Bizen ware mellow the flavors of sake and make the aroma more fragrant. This effect has been famous for centuries, leading to the saying "second-grade sake becomes first-grade sake when kept in a Bizen ware pot." 

This set includes 1 sake carafe and 2 sake cups.

Delivered in a wooden box, this set is perfect as a gift for your loved ones.

Hozan Kiln is a long-established Bizen ware kiln located in Imbe, Bizen City. During the 17th century, six families of Bizen ware potters were under the protection of the shogunate. Hozan Kiln was established by one of these families and continues to this day as the legitimate successor of Bizen ware.
