Product Features

A sake cup with a quiet black color that enhances the beauty of Japanese sake.

Each 18-8 stainless steel cup is meticulously polished by skilled craftsmen. The surface is then dyed black using a unique technique. The resulting mirror-like finish, achieved through expert polishing, reveals various nuances within the black surface depending on the angle of light. The
transparency and soft hues of the sake poured into the cup are beautifully highlighted, making it a perfect accompaniment to a quiet moment of adult enjoyment. Its elegant size, fitting comfortably in the hand, is another appealing feature.

Interior finish that enhances the flavor

The interior is meticulously polished by hand by skilled craftsmen to ensure a smooth mouthfeel for sake. The result is a finish that minimizes off-flavors, allowing the aroma and aftertaste to unfold beautifully. The double-walled construction also prevents the outside from becoming too cold when pouring chilled sake, and minimizes the transfer of hand temperature—a welcome feature. It maintains the temperature and flavor of the sake right down to the last sip.

"Blackened stainless steel," a rare technique nationwide.

The black finish on this cup is the work of a craftsman with many years of experience. It is a rare technique nationwide, and unlike typical plating, it preserves the texture and feel of the stainless steel. One of its charms is that as you use it, its appearance changes little by little, developing a unique character that belongs to the owner. The black layer is very thin, and if polished too much, the base metal will show through, so the craftsman carefully finishes each cup one by one, judging the right balance. This is what creates the deep black and elegant shine.

Comes in a special presentation box.
