What is "Raden Glass"? (螺鈿ガラスとは)

Raden Glass is an exquisite fusion of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and modern elegance. It combines the translucent, rigid beauty of glass—which delightfully shifts its expression under different lighting and produces a beautiful, resonant sound—with "Raden" (mother-of-pearl inlay), a signature technique of historic Takaoka Lacquerware, all meticulously hand-finished with natural Urushi (Japanese lacquer).

By viewing the iridescent, rainbow-like glow of the abalone shell through the glass, and feeling the natural warmth of the Urushi lacquer in your hand, you will experience a perfect harmony of East and West, tradition and modernity. This is truly a luxurious masterpiece that elevates any dining experience.

We invite you to appreciate the mysterious, captivating shimmer of the mother-of-pearl as it gleams through the glass and glows softly through your favorite Japanese sake.
