This guinomi features a vivid red hue. The contrast between polished and frosted surfaces is visually striking, and the harmonious pattern reflects traditional craftsmanship.
A frosted chrysanthemum motif is carved into the base; when sake is poured, it reflects softly onto the polished interior, creating depth and radiance. The interplay of light and liquid highlights the clarity and precision of the cutwork.
The flared tenkai rim offers a smooth mouthfeel, allowing the aroma and flavor of chilled sake to unfold. Compact and comfortable to hold, this cup is ideal for both daily use and special occasions. It is also available in various colors, making it enjoyable to collect.

Maker / Brand
Harisho Yamada Glass is a family-run studio based in Tokyo’s historic Sumida Ward, near the iconic Tokyo Skytree. For over eighty years and across three generations, the studio has preserved and evolved the intricate techniques of both Edo Kiriko and hana kiriko.
Edo Kiriko is known for its sharply cut geometric patterns and brilliant polish. At the same time, hana kiriko uses similar tools to gently carve motifs of flora and fauna into a frosted surface, offering a soft, matte finish in striking contrast to the gleaming cuts of traditional Edo Kiriko. As a studio deeply rooted in the traditions of Japanese glass, Harisho Yamada Glass is one of the few in Japan capable of mastering both techniques with exceptional finesse.
Crafts
Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is also a hub of craftsmanship. Among its many traditions, Edo Glass and Edo Kiriko are types of glassware that have been passed down for around 200 years in Edo—the former name for central Tokyo.
Their luminous surfaces echo centuries of craftsmanship, born in what was once Edo and still thriving in modern Tokyo.

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.
