Shokyu Sake Cup | Hinoki

A sake cup turned in Japanese hinoki cypress, weighing about an ounce. The rim is cut in the hazori style — flared outward — so the sake slides straight onto the tongue.Hinoki is the wood of Japanese bathhouses and shrines: pale, fine-grained, faintly fragrant. Here it is sealed with a clear nano-glass coating that protects the surface without hiding the grain, so the cup can be used every evening. Grain and color vary from piece to piece.Made for chilled or room-temperature sake; also good for a small pour of whisky or a digestif.Details Wood: Hinoki cypress, Japan Finish: Natural — clear nano-glass coating Size: ø 54 × H 70 mm (ø 2.1 × H 2.8 in) Weight: 30 g (1.1 oz) Packaging: Individual box Made in: Yamanaka, Kaga, Ishikawa, Japan CareWash after use with a soft sponge and mild dish soap; soaking is fine.
