This special sake set includes a tokkuri (Japanese sake carafe) and sake cups that have a gorgeous and distinctive shape adorned with beautiful Kutani colors.
Pine, Bamboo, and Plums are painted on both cups and the carafe. When the pine, bamboo, and plum are combined in Japanese art, they become symbols of hope and good fortune. This is because the pine and bamboo do not die in winter, and the plum blossom is the first to bloom in spring. Wherever you go in Japan, you will see them planted together, put together in flower arrangements, and used in art and design for important occasions.
It is perfect for celebrating a special occasion with your family and friends. Great for New Year's Day, birthdays, moving parties, and other events.
It comes in an original wooden box, which makes it a perfect gift for any sake lovers.

Sake Sets
When preparing to savor delicious sake, it’s important to consider the sake set as well. Sake is a delicate drink whose flavor changes depending on temperature and exposure to air. To enhance your experience, select a sake cup and carafe that complement both the unique qualities of the sake and your personal taste.
Ko-Kutani
Ko-Kutani is one of the oldest styles of Kutani ware, originating in the early Edo period (1603 CE–1868 CE). This style is known for its dynamic yet subtle charm, featuring bold designs in five colors—green, yellow, red, purple and dark blue—known as gosai. Ko-Kutani often depicts nature-inspired motifs like flowers, birds and landscapes. Despite its brief production period, ending in the early 1700s, ko-Kutani remains highly esteemed internationally as one of Japan's major overglaze enamel styles.
