Adorned with a whimsical dragon design, this guinomi sake cup is perfect for enjoying sake, providing a comfortable grip for sipping. Beyond its use as a sake cup, this versatile piece can also serve beautifully as a small tea cup or a condiment holder.

The dragon, an auspicious symbol, is revered as a water and sea deity, representing nature's dynamic forces like tornadoes and thunderstorms. Its appearance is believed to herald forthcoming good fortune.

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.
