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.
Traditional crimson coloring with a touch of distinct black grain originality
This sake cup makes it presence known with its vivid crimson color and distinct black wood grain patterns. The warm texture to the wood will bring you peace as you drink.There is a lacquer known as “Shuai” (朱合). We took that name and changed the characters used (酒逢) for the name of this cup. This name represents a desire to come to know others through sake, and to some day meet and drink with them again.
One of a kind
The crimson color and black grain on Shuai is created using zelkova wood. All wood used is real zelkova, meaning that every cup is unique. Each piece is hand made by a traditional lacquer craftsman.

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. -
