This elegantly simple ochoko sake cup features a smooth moegi green glaze on the exterior, complemented by a pure white interior that highlights the color and clarity of the sake. Moegi refers to a fresh green hue, a color name that has been cherished since the Heian period (794–1185 CE).
A thin gold rim adds a subtle yet refined accent and its gently flared shape not only feels comfortable in the hand but also enhances the aroma and flavor of sake, making each sip a more enjoyable experience.
Though designed for sake, this versatile cup can also be used to serve green tea to add a pop of color to your tea table.

Green
Green tableware, embodying tranquility, hope, and vitality, captures the essence of all seasons, from spring's fresh hues to winter's deep tones, enhancing dining with a feel of renewal and relaxation.
Over the centuries, Japan has seamlessly blended this shade into its cultural tapestry. Since the Heian period (794 CE–1158 CE), the vibrant wakakusa iro, a radiant yellow-green color, has been celebrated for capturing the essence of young grass in early spring. Refreshing spring grass greens bring a vernal ambiance to the table. You also can find green shades including shimmering emerald, deep jade, a whole range of delightfully natural leaf greens.
