Blue Amber Whirlwind Guinomi Sake Cup - Handcrafted Japanese Ceramic Drinking Cup for Sake, Whiskey & Tea | Perfect for Home Bars, Japanese Restaurants & Gift Giving

Product Description

Experience a spell-binding refraction of lapis lazuli and amber hues when the light hits the faceted surface of this guinomi sake cup. True to a centuries-old tradition of cutting intricate patterns onto the surface, this sake cup showcases exceptional complexity of design.

Kikutsunagi, a popular traditional pattern of accurately intersecting lines that create a swarm of chrysanthemum flowers, is twisted into a graceful whirlwind design. The alternating vivid blues and mellow ambers that swerve diagonally across the transparent glass surface create an intermingling color effect.

The intricacy of the Edo Kiriko technique on this glass inspires intimate observation, whether with frequent use or on special occasions. With a capacity of 70 ml (2.4 fl oz), this cup is ideal for indulging in a slightly larger serving of sake that can comfortably last for several sips.
