Shokyu Cup | Sakura

The first cup Shozu Shikko released under its own name. A rounded form that settles into the palm, with a capacity chosen for daily use — tea, coffee, water, or something stronger.Wood conducts heat slowly: pour a hot drink and the cup never scalds your fingers; pour a cold one and it stays cold longer and barely sweats, so no coaster is needed. The rim is turned thin and is soft against the lips.This one is Japanese cherry — paler in grain than zelkova, with a faint blush of red in the wood. A clear nano-glass coating keeps it from staining. Grain and color vary from piece to piece.Details Wood: Cherry (sakura), Japan Finish: Natural — clear nano-glass coating Size: ø 85 × H 90 mm (ø 3.3 × H 3.5 in) Weight: 110 g (3.9 oz) Packaging: Individual box Made in: Yamanaka, Kaga, Ishikawa, Japan CareWash after use with a soft sponge and mild dish soap; soaking is fine.
