Although we only sell products that have passed manufacturer inspections, please be aware of the following product characteristics:
- Due to the hand-finished nature of the product by artisans, there may be slight individual differences in color and size.
- Please use dishwashing detergent and gently wash with a soft sponge or similar.
- Avoid prolonged soaking in water.
- After washing, wipe off moisture with a dry cloth and allow to air dry in a well-ventilated place (standing them with the tips down can cause damage).

The moment it touches your lips, your usual sake transforms into an "exquisite masterpiece." A miraculous sip from Echizen, woven from earth and lacquer.
At the end of the day, pour your favorite chilled junmai sake. The light from your dining table reflects beautifully on the lustrous lacquer surface, transforming your usual evening drink into a serene moment, as if you were at a high-end kappo counter. This piece is a rare "totai shikki" (lacquerware with ceramic core) sake cup, combining the warmth of the earth from Fukui Prefecture's proud "Echizen ware" with the smooth texture of "Echizen lacquerware." You'll be taken aback by the substantial weight when you cup it in your hands, contrasted by the impossibly thin rim. It's truly a beautiful tool for adults, allowing you to sharpen your senses and deeply savor a drink that soothes the day's fatigue.
The "ultra-thin" rim, shaved to its limit, brings out the true flavor of sake
As you bring the sake cup to your lips, you'll be astonished by its extreme thinness. The ultra-thin rim delivers the transparent aroma of daiginjo and the rich umami of junmai sake directly to your palate without any resistance. Combined with the moist and smooth mouthfeel characteristic of lacquer, you'll be amazed at how much the potential of your usual sake is elevated.
The pleasing feel of it clinging to your fingers. The best of both ceramic and lacquer.
The charm unique to totai shikki lies in the coexistence of the "reassuring weight" characteristic of ceramic and the "clinging-to-your-fingers" texture of lacquerware. The plump, rounded 90ml small form fits perfectly in one hand, offering a comforting feel that makes you want to keep caressing it. Furthermore, the ceramic base slows down temperature changes, so even when cold sake is poured, the outside doesn't get too cold, allowing you to enjoy your evening drink at your own leisurely pace – a practical advantage.
The intersection of Echizen's two great traditions: everyday beauty that embraces you
While possessing the dignified presence of an art craft, it also has a strong emphasis on practical daily use. Its low-center-of-gravity, rounded shape makes it stable and less likely to tip over on a table, and its exquisite size fits neatly into gaps with other glasses or small bowls in a cupboard. Available in two colors to match your table's style, it's also recommended for couples to get different colors. As it is lacquerware, it should be gently hand-washed, avoiding dishwashers, but even the cleaning time itself transforms into the joy of nurturing the vessel.
Born from the encounter of two traditional techniques passed down in the Echizen region, this exceptional round sake cup is a lifelong item that will elevate both special occasion toasts and casual evening drinks into "moments of bliss." Why not enjoy the aging process of the lacquer, which gains more luster with use, and nurture it into your own beautiful sake vessel?
Recommended for:
- Those who want to enjoy their usual sake with a more delicate and clear taste.
- Those who want to experience both the substantial feel of ceramic and the smooth texture of lacquerware in one vessel.
- Those looking for a high-quality sake vessel that doesn't take up much space in the cupboard and can be used casually every day.
- Those who want to enjoy the aging process and nurture their vessel over a long period.
Precautions for long-lasting beauty of totai shikki
- Do not use in microwave, oven, or dishwasher: Sudden heating or drying can cause damage to the base material or peeling of the lacquer film, as well as discoloration.
- Avoid prolonged soaking: Immersing in water for a long time can stress the lacquer film and base material, so it's best to wash it immediately after use.
- Wash with a soft sponge and neutral detergent: Abrasive cleansers or metal scrubbers can damage the delicate lacquer surface, so do not use them.
- Wipe off moisture quickly after washing: Allowing water droplets to air dry can cause water stains (limescale marks). Wiping off moisture with a soft cloth helps maintain the unique luster of the lacquer.
- Store away from direct sunlight (UV rays): Lacquer has a property of discoloring and deteriorating when exposed to strong UV rays for extended periods. Store it on a shaded shelf, etc.
- If you are concerned about an initial odor: If a unique lacquer scent remains, place it in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight for several days, or wash it with lukewarm water before use to alleviate the odor.
Please read before purchasing (Regarding the "individuality" of the vessel)
While we only sell genuine products that have passed manufacturer inspections, due to the nature of handmade pottery, this product has the following unique characteristics. We hope you will appreciate them as a one-of-a-kind "scenery" not found in industrial products.
- As this product is ceramic, there may be significant individual differences in the glaze.
- As this product is ceramic, small holes may appear on the surface of the material.

The taste of sake changes the moment it touches your lips. An "ultra-thin" ceramic sake cup, imbued with the warmth of earth and the luster of lacquer.
There are vessels that can transform your evening drink at the end of the day into a special ritual. This barrel-shaped sake cup is born from "Totai Shikki" (lacquered ceramics), an ancient technique that fuses the powerful earthiness of "Echizen-yaki" and the moist elegance of "Echizen-shikki," two proud traditional crafts of Fukui Prefecture.
When you gently cup it in both hands, you'll be surprised by its lightness, uncharacteristic of an earthen vessel, and the delicate, ultra-thin rim, turned to its absolute limit. Pour in your favorite sake and bring it to your lips; the ultra-thin rim will clearly convey the contours of the sake, and its rich, subtle aroma will waft into your nasal passages. This is not just a tool for drinking sake; it is a supreme item that satisfies all five senses, from the tactile sensation on your fingertips to the touch on your lips, and the unparalleled taste.
The tactile sensation of lacquer clinging to your fingers, and an ultra-thin rim that highlights the contours of the sake.
When held, the moist, pleasant feel unique to lacquer adheres to your fingers as if suctioned. Its most distinguishing feature is the ultra-thin rim, pared down to 1-2mm solely relying on the craftsman's fingertips. The moment it touches your lips, the presence of the vessel seems to vanish, allowing the pure deliciousness and refreshing coolness of the sake itself to flow in directly. Different from glass sake vessels, the soft and smooth feel unique to lacquered ceramics is so comfortable that once you experience it, you won't want to go back to other vessels.
A "barrel-shaped" form that cradles aroma, and a small canvas that graces the dining table.
The charmingly round, 90ml barrel-shaped design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also a rational shape that gently holds the rich aroma of sake within. You can fully enjoy both the fruity aroma of Daiginjo and the rich rice umami of Junmai-shu.
Furthermore, using it not only as a sake cup but also as a small bowl for serving delicacies or appetizers is a wonderful experience. Placing items like salted squid guts, sea urchin, or cream cheese marinated in soy sauce will allow the deep color of the lacquer to beautifully enhance the food. Your everyday dining table will transform into a serene and beautiful scene, like the counter of a high-end Japanese restaurant.
Echizen-yaki × Echizen-shikki. The beauty of "Totai Shikki" where two major traditional crafts intersect.
"Totai Shikki" is born from the technique of Echizen-yaki, where iron-rich Echizen clay is turned on a potter's wheel to an extreme thinness, and then craftsmen of Echizen-shikki apply multiple layers of lacquer. It is a luxurious technique that cannot be achieved without the high-level skills of both, and the combination of the warmth of the earth and the depth of lacquer reveals a unique profundity that is neither mere pottery nor mere lacquerware. Both color variations blend seamlessly into daily life while radiating a distinct presence.
Ease of handling that fits everyday use, and the practicality of "nurturing" it.
Despite being a traditional craft, its ease of everyday use is a key factor in wanting to cherish it for a long time. The barrel-shaped form has a low center of gravity for stability and fits neatly into a cupboard.
To preserve the beauty of the lacquer for a long time, washing by hand with a soft sponge is fundamental, rather than using a dishwasher. However, lacquerware dries very quickly and oil stains wash off easily, making daily care surprisingly simple. The gradual increase in luster and how it becomes more familiar to your hand with each use and wash over time. You can experience the joy of nurturing your own unique vessel in your daily life.
The ruggedness of Echizen-yaki and the refinement of Echizen-shikki. This sake cup, which masterfully fuses these two seemingly opposing charms through ultra-thin wheel-throwing techniques, fundamentally elevates the quality of your daily evening drink. The pleasant feel on the lips, the expansive aroma, and the ease of care. It is a Japanese masterpiece that combines practicality and artistry at a high level, a piece you'll want to keep by your side for a lifetime.
【Recommended for these people】
- Those who want to enjoy the taste and aroma of sake more delicately and directly.
- Those looking for a sake cup that is comfortable to hold, combining the warmth of pottery with the elegance of lacquerware.
- Those who want to use it not only as a sake cup but also as a vessel to beautifully present delicacies and appetizers.
- Those who prioritize daily usability, such as ease of care and storage.
- Those who want to nurture a lifelong vessel while enjoying its aging process.
Precautions for long-term beautiful use of Totai Shikki (lacquered ceramics)
- Do not use in microwave, oven, or dishwasher/dryer: Rapid heating or drying can cause damage to the base material, peeling of the lacquer film, or discoloration.
- Avoid prolonged soaking: Soaking in water for a long time can put stress on the lacquer film and base material, so it is best to wash it immediately after use.
- Wash with a soft sponge and neutral detergent: Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scrubbers, as they may scratch the delicate lacquer surface.
- Wipe off water quickly after washing: If water droplets are allowed to dry naturally, they can cause water spots (lime scale). Wiping away moisture with a soft cloth will better preserve the unique luster of the lacquer.
- Store away from direct sunlight (UV rays): Lacquer has the property of discoloring or deteriorating when exposed to strong UV rays for prolonged periods. Please store it on a shaded shelf.
- If you are concerned about the initial smell: If the unique smell of lacquer remains, place it in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight for several days, or wash it with lukewarm water before use to alleviate the smell.
