Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This beautifully crafted sake pot features a vibrant moegi green glaze, reminiscent of the fresh, lively color of new sprouts. Moegi refers to an ancient green hue that has been used as a color name since the Heian period (794–1185 CE).
The lid is adorned with a delicate red lattice pattern, with intricate ajiro, woven bamboo, motifs subtly added into the intersections. This combination of patterns creates a harmonious contrast with the smooth green glaze.
Its refined square form is accented with subtle gold detailing, and the gracefully curved spout ensures a smooth and precise pour, making it perfect for serving both warm and chilled sake.
Both functional and decorative, this sake pot adds a refreshing and sophisticated touch to your sake-drinking experience. It is also perfect for serving green tea brewed at lower temperatures, such as sencha, offering versatility beyond sake.

Origin
Crafted in the Tono region of Gifu Prefecture, Mino ware is celebrated for its rich heritage and versatility within Japanese dinnerware.
A defining feature of Mino ware is its remarkable variety. Unlike many other Japanese pottery that adheres to a singular style, Mino ware boasts more than fifteen different styles, each with its unique charm developed over centuries. This region now accounts for over fifty percent of Japan's ceramic production, highlighting its unrivaled popularity.
In recognition of its cultural significance, Mino ware was designated as a traditional craft in 1978 by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (now the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry). Mino ware continues to enchant with its blend of historical depth and contemporary relevance, truly embodying a high standard of craftsmanship.

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.
