Description

This guinomi sake cup highlights the sometsuke technique, also known as blue and white porcelain. The elegant chestnut design, painted in deep indigo on white porcelain, combines traditional beauty with everyday functionality.

Its size is perfect for enjoying sake with a comfortable grip, and it can also be used as a small tea cup or a condiment holder, adding versatility to its charm.

Known as kachi-guri, this chestnut motif incorporates the word kachi, meaning "victory." This motif symbolizes success in competitions, career growth and recovery from illness.

The clay used at Le Sanpei Kiln recreates the charm of early Imari ware. The soft hues of the natural glaze and blue underglaze express a simple, rustic beauty.

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.
