sake cup / total wiped lacquer / Rakuzen
A sake cup that looks like a rising koboshi
The large hollow in the bottom of the bowl allows the fingers to rest naturally in the bowl, and the sake cup fits securely in the hand, making it easy to hold and prevent it from falling over. In order to make it easy to drink sake, the mouth of the sake cup is ground as thin as possible, yet thick enough not to break if dropped. The lacquer is then applied to the mouth to give it a smooth feel, making it a masterpiece.
Even if it falls over, it will get back up.
Even if you get drunk and lose control of it, it is safe and will not fall over in the slightest. Even if it falls over, it rises up like a "kakigaraki-koboushi," a lucky charm of Fukushima.
The bottom of the cup is raised in the shape of a mountain, which prevents splashing when pouring and allows the aroma to easily release.
The raised inner bottom is designed to prevent splashing when sake is poured. It is also a mechanism to enjoy the aroma of sake. When sake is poured, it easily conveys the aroma to the ridges on the bottom, and is especially recommended for old sake, which has a mellow flavor.
It can also be used as a small bowl.
It can also be used as a container for snacks, dipping sauces, and sweets. It is widely used for parties and hospitality occasions.
