This guinomi sake cup features an attractive windmill-like design at its base in a stylish black color. The sides are adorned with two detailed patterns for a visually engaging experience.
It is entirely handcrafted by the traditional craftsman, Kiyohide. The chic black hue of the Edo Kiriko cut glass complements the design, evoking a sense of modernity and individuality within the tradition.
Despite the intricate appearance of cutting work, the process is brought to completion by fluid and smooth motions, honed over decades of training. The meticulous patterns change expressions with lighting, emanating a delicate glow that captivates the viewer, whether under natural light or when illuminated in darkness.
The surface's texture ensures that the glass doesn't easily slip from your grasp, and the round form, combined with the moderate weight, makes it ergonomic.
Made of glass for a smooth drinking experience, it is perfect for slowly savoring chilled sake. This piece embodies the chic and pleasant sake time unique to Edo Kiriko.

Guinomi
Guinomi are a type of sake cup, smaller than a typical Japanese teacup but somewhat larger than other sake cups. They are often used without a sake carafe, with sake poured directly from the bottle.
Guinomi originally held delicacies during Japanese tea ceremonies, but in time came to be used for drinking sake afterward. They have therefore evolved alongside Japan’s unique tea culture.
Black
Black conveys a sense of sophistication, formality, and stylishness. In Japan, this is reflected in the use of kuro, a deep black color traditionally worn by priests and monks during ceremonies. Kuro not only symbolizes sanctity and solemnity but also projects an air of quiet elegance.
Black tableware's deep, rich tones and matte or glossy finishes bring a bold and elegant touch to any setting, elevating table design with a modern, sleek allure and fostering an ambiance of depth and a sense of ritual.
