The advantage of wooden sake cups is that they are lighter than glass or ceramic. It is easy to hold even when filled with a large amount of sake, and it is also resistant to breakage even if dropped, so it can be used for a long time if used carefully.

The unique texture of wood is also an appealing feature of wooden sake cups. The gentle feel of the wood and its smooth texture are ideal for enjoying sake slowly.

Yamanaka lacquerware, also known as Yamanaka Shikki, is a lacquerware produced in the Yamanaka Onsen (hot spring) district of Kaga, Ishikawa prefecture. This lacquerware is unique in that it blends the natural elegance of the wood grain with the elegant maki-e technique of sprinkling gold, silver, or other colored powder onto a lacquer painting.

With its beautiful wood texture, delicate and robust Yamanaka Lacquerware is evolving day by day, incorporating a modern sense of design while inheriting a tradition that has lasted for 400 years.
