Discover the elegance of traditional Japanese craftsmanship with the Shigaraki Transparent Ochoko Sake Cup. This unique piece features a sleek, straight form subtly softened by gentle curves, meticulously shaped through the potter’s wheel. The stunning contrast between the pristine white and rich green of the sencha tea enhances your tea time, transforming it into a luxurious experience.
Unlike traditional porcelain, this Shigaraki cup is crafted using a special clay mixture developed in 2009 at the Shigaraki Ceramic Research Institute. With a light transmittance 2.5 to 3 times greater than that of porcelain, this pottery allows light to pass through even with its substantial thickness. The texture is slightly rough to the touch, offering a warm, tactile experience unique to ceramic ware.
This piece is a testament to the fusion of ancient techniques and modern innovation, making it a perfect addition to any sake lover’s collection or an elegant gift for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
