Guinomi
We have collected wonderful guinomi sake cups from all over Japan that will make your blissful time of savoring your favorite sake even richer.
A guinomi is typically slightly smaller than a teacup, making it a larger cup for sake. It is often used without a sake carafe, with sake poured directly from a bottle. Originally, the guinomi was used to hold delicacies during Japanese tea ceremonies. After enjoying the delicacies, people began using it to pour and drink sake, which is believed to mark the origin of the guinomi. Over time, the guinomi evolved alongside Japan's tea culture.
Guided by the aesthetic sensibility of wabi-sabi, the guinomi has become a refined companion for savoring sake with a deeper sense of appreciation.
