The Efforts of the Craftsman

A sake cup made to enhance to experience of drinking sake.

We began making sake cups to enhance the experience of drinking sake when we gave one as a present to a long time friend, the Shiokawa Brewery. Because the type and application of lacquer changes how sake feels, we worked on and tested many things and had Shiokawa and many others working in sake test them for us in our pursuit of creating cups to enhance the drinking experience.

A fusion between the metallic sheen of the skill of the artisan and the warm texture of lacquer

Lacquer ware is a craft wherein you can feel the warmth of the wood. With much research, we were able to give this lacquer ware a never before seen metallic sheen with Issen. Issen means to shine or suddenly sparkle. Issen brings the image of sake cups together with a fusion of lacquer and a metallic sheen.

One of a kind

Sake like white wine to complement fish dishes

The patterns on Issen are made using the grains of zelkova wood. They are made with real wood, so every piece is unique. Each also has an individualistic touch from being hand made by an artisan.

  • Handling

    Wash with neutral detergent and a soft sponge or cloth. Then, wipe down with a soft cloth.
    Do not soak in water.
    Do not place in dishwashers, microwave ovens, or ovens.

  • About the aroma

    In the beginning, lacquered sake cups will have the smell of the lacquer. This will fade in about three weeks. The more often it is used, the faster the smell will disappear.
    If you are concerned about the smell, wipe it down with a cloth dipped in vinegar and wipe it off, then repeat the process several times.

    This product is made using real zelkova. No two grain patterns are the same.
