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.

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.
