An Imari-yaki tumbler with an incredibly thin build that allows light to pass through and a subtle curve that gently embraces the lips, transforming your daily drink into a moment of bliss.
The moment you pick it up, you'll be struck by its astonishing lightness of just 140g and its refined form that fits perfectly in your fingertips. Crafted by Hataman Touen, a renowned Imari-yaki kiln in Saga Prefecture, this tumbler is more than just a vessel for pouring drinks. Chilled beer, highballs with plenty of ice, or amber-colored cold tea – the refreshing clinking sound of ice the moment it's poured and the surprisingly smooth sensation when it touches your lips will transform your everyday dining table into a sophisticated scene reminiscent of a luxury lounge.
"Ultra-thin construction" that lets light through and a meticulously calculated, exquisite mouthfeel
Despite being porcelain, the thinnest construction that seems to softly let light through is the greatest charm of this tumbler. The rim is subtly curved, meticulously designed to gently embrace your lips as you tilt the glass. This delicate structure allows the fine foam of beer and the rich aroma of cold sake to reach your palate directly without obstruction, maximizing the potential of your drink.
Three distinct textures that delight your fingertips, varying by color
Another profound feature of this vessel is the ability to enjoy completely different "tactile sensations" depending on the color variation. "Joshiraji (white porcelain) / Olive" offers a lustrous, smooth gloss; "Kuro Matt (black matte)" provides a modern, silky texture that clings to the fingers; and "Hanmon (Mottled pattern) (Hanmon / Midorihanmon / Aohanmon)" delivers a rough texture that conveys the power of the earth. Not only is the visual beauty considered, but the tactile sensation when cradled in both hands is also designed, changing the pleasure you experience with each color you choose.
The craftsmanship of the renowned kiln "Hataman Touen" and practical utility for everyday life
While showcasing the undeniable craftsmanship of "Hataman Touen," which inherits the tradition and elegance of Imari-yaki into the modern era, it also doesn't forget the perspective of everyday life. With a capacity of 350ml when full, it's the perfect size for cold sake with ice or daily tea. While it has a delicate side, being unsuitable for dishwashers and microwaves, its presence is so endearing that even the time spent gently hand-washing it with a sponge becomes precious. Since it is freezer-safe, you can chill the vessel thoroughly beforehand, allowing for a practical yet supremely luxurious way to use it.
With the aesthetic sense of traditional Imari-yaki, it features a sleek, minimalist design that effortlessly blends into modern lifestyles. The craftsmanship felt with every touch to the lips elevates the simple act of quenching your thirst into a blissful experience to be savored with all five senses. It is truly an exceptional item that you can confidently present as a reward for yourself, or as a thoughtful gift for someone special who appreciates genuine quality.
Recommended for:
- Those who want to elevate the taste of their evening beer, highball, or cold sake by upgrading their vessel.
- Those who value the extremely thin rim and the pleasant sensation when it touches their lips.
- Those who prioritize the "comfort of the five senses" when holding an item, including visual and tactile aspects.
- Those who wish to present a gift with the story of a historic, renowned kiln to a loved one.

回収詳細
Imari-yaki is a general term for ceramics produced in Imari City, Saga Prefecture. The Okawachiyama area, where the domain kiln was located, is particularly famous. During the Edo period, "Imari-yaki" and "Arita-yaki" referred to essentially the same items. Because products fired in Arita were shipped from Imari Port, people at the time called them "Imari-yaki." Specifically, old Imari-yaki produced during the Edo period is now called "Ko-Imari" (old Imari) and is highly valued artistically.
At our store, we differentiate and label ceramics by their place of origin: items fired in present-day Arita Town are called "Arita-yaki," those from Imari City are "Imari-yaki," those from Hasami Town are "Hasami-yaki," and those from Ureshino Town are "Hizen Yoshida-yaki."
