Sake cup feature 2

Tin with excellent properties as a drinking vessel

Tin is a material often used as a "sake cup" that can take full advantage of its properties. One of its advantages is its thermal conductivity. Its greatest feature is that it keeps hot food warm and cold food colder.

Tin also has an ionic effect, which helps to mellow the taste of water and sake by removing impurities. In addition, tin is resistant to rust and has excellent moisture proofing properties. This explains why various types of tin drinking vessels are made, such as sake cups, cups for sake drinking, and tumblers.

Unique shape that creates "sway"

The Kuzushi series is a series of vessels characterized by their irregular shapes. This sake cup also has soft curves and is full of warmth.

The capacity of this sake cup is about 95ml, a little larger than a cup, but not so large as a sake cup. The rounded shape of this sake cup gives a very gentle impression.
