Hasami ware is a traditional Japanese ceramic produced in Hasami Town, often called the "Town of Pottery," located in Nagasaki Prefecture, Kyushu. For over 400 years, it has been cherished as durable and practical tableware for everyday use.

Sake Sets
When preparing to enjoy fine sake, start by choosing the right sake set. Sake is delicate—its flavor shifts with temperature and air, making the choice of carafe essential, whether a ceramic tokkuri, a metal chirori, or a graceful katakuchi. Pair them with cups that complement the sake, ochoko, guinomi, or sakazuki, each offering its own shape and character.
A well-chosen sake set transforms the simple act of pouring into a ritual, enhancing both flavor and atmosphere. Explore our collection to assemble a set that reflects your way of enjoying sake.
Kinrande
Introducing a tableware collection inspired by the kinrande style, an elegant and vibrant design style that draws inspiration from old Imari ware. Kinrande-style Imari ware gained immense popularity as export items between the 18th and 19th centuries. Large vases and plate sets were crafted especially for European royalty and nobility, and these pieces were highly valued as elegant and beautiful additions to their palaces.
This collection features luxurious gold accents, deep shades of red, and elegant blues. Many designs are densely packed with intricate patterns set within balanced, symmetrical compositions. Floral motifs, particularly those of peonies and chrysanthemums, frequently appear. Additionally, mythical creatures like dragons and phoenixes are prominently depicted, symbolizing power and rebirth, respectively, and adding an auspicious touch to these extravagant ceramics.
