[TUMBLER / WATER BOTTLE] IONBOTTLE CANDY (BLUE) | SHIGARAKI WARE

Ion Bottle Feature 1

Bottles of Shigarayaki ware, one of the six oldest kilns in Japan

Shigarayaki ware, known for its raccoon dog figurines, is one of Japan's six oldest kilns and is made in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. Characterized by its high fire resistance and coarse clay texture, this pottery is often used for large vessels such as earthenware pots.

Since Shigarayaki ware is a traditional craft with a long history, it was used in the old days as utensils for the tea ceremony, and today a variety of items, not only tableware, but also ornaments and small objects, are made using the Shigaraki ware technique.

Shigarayaki ware is often associated with a rustic impression that makes use of the texture of clay, but this bottle features a very light color. This item is not only a technique that has been handed down over a long period of time, but also has a somewhat new feel.

Natural ions are generated! Makes water tasty and mellow

At first glance, the bottle looks like an ordinary pottery bottle, but the inside is processed with radium ore. The radium ore generates natural ions, which are said to mellow the water and other substances in the bottle.

If you fill it with water and let it sit for a day or night, you can more easily notice the change in taste. It also reduces the chalky odor of tap water, so it is recommended for those who are not comfortable drinking tap water as it is. Water is something we take every day, so it is nice to be able to drink better tasting water.

Since radium ore is a natural mineral, its effect is semi-permanent. It is a highly valuable product because it can be used for a long time.

Works great at mealtime! Also as a bottle for tea and liquor

A bottle filled with water can be conveniently used like a pitcher by setting it on the table at mealtime. There is also a special lid for this product.

Of course, it can be used for drinks other than water. It makes any drinks such as tea, sake, wine, and shochu mellow and tasty.

The pastel colors, reminiscent of candy, are very stylish. I would like to use it for family reunions and for entertaining guests.

Ion bottle details1

Plenty of capacity! Can be stored in the refrigerator

The Ion Bottle has a generous 1-liter capacity. The bottle itself is slim, with a depth and width of approximately 9 cm, so it can be placed upright in a refrigerator drink holder for cooling.

The mouth is slightly widened for smooth pouring. The bottle itself weighs approximately 550 g. It is recommended that an adult handle the bottle since it becomes quite heavy when filled to the brim.

Ion bottle details2

Tightly sealed! With special wooden and cork stopper

The ion bottle has a special stopper made of wood on the top and cork on the bottom. The tight seal prevents water from leaking out.

When the bottle is corked, only the wooden part is visible, giving it a very natural look. It matches very well with the pastel-colored bottle body.

They are also convenient when filled with alcoholic beverages such as wine or sake, as they can be sealed tightly in case they cannot be consumed.

Five color variations!

The Ion Bottle is available in a total of five colors. In addition to blue, you can choose from pink, black, white, and yellow, depending on your preference.

The black/white looks more sophisticated and cooler than the other pastel colors because the plugs are coordinated in black instead of the natural wood grain.

It is also recommended that you choose one that matches the image of your home interior, or have them in different colors so that you can easily distinguish them for tea, water, etc.

Give an Ion Bottle

A great gift for any home.

Since ion bottles are convenient items that can be used every day, we recommend that you give them as gifts to your loved ones in addition to those for home use. It would make a great wedding gift, housewarming gift, or a gift for someone who is particular about tableware, or for a family that likes to enjoy a leisurely meal.

It is also a great gift for families that already have a full line of tableware, such as plates and glasses, or for those who are health-conscious.

BECOS offers many original wrapping designs using Japanese paper, furoshiki, and other uniquely Japanese materials. If you are unable to hand-deliver the gift in person, we also offer the service of typing the text you wish to convey on a message card. We hope you will make this a thoughtful gift, picturing the smile on the recipient's face when he or she holds it in their hands.
