Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
After melting tin into a sheet form, it is hammered into shape using the hammering technique called tsuiki, making the piece seamless.
It is suitable for heating sake by dipping it in a pot filled with hot water. The good thermal conductivity of the metal allows it to warm up quickly, and it also makes cold sake look cool and refreshing. Please be careful when holding the handle after warming it up.
This product is part of a project launched by Niigata Prefecture under the theme of "Tales of a Century," products to be used for the next 100 years. It is created by an outside designer and aims to coexist with the warmth of craftsmanship and sophisticated design
