This indigo blue katakuchi sake carafe, crafted by Seigado, boasts a natural curve that fits perfectly in the hand, while the vessel’s roundness creates a serene and harmonious ambiance.
Designed with both form and function in mind, this sake carafe boasts a beautifully shaped single spout. When paired with the matching guinomi sake cup, it brings a refined elegance to your dining experience.
A sheet of copper is carefully crafted using the traditional hammering technique known as tsuiki, to shape this sake carafe into a seamless piece. Tsuiki is a metal crafting technique that involves hammering and embossing various metal plates, such as gold, silver, copper, and tin. The hammering marks are left as beautiful patterns on the finished products.
Copper's high thermal conductivity enhances the chill of cold sake, while the tin coating inside softens its flavor. The copper also deepens in color with use, adding enjoyment over time.
