Zuiho Kiln Luxury Koshuhai (L) Rock Glass 300ml

Koshuhai are glasses developed with "aroma" as their theme by a group of Arita ware potters and shochu manufacturers, pursuing both design and functional beauty. You can enjoy the aroma more fully when the glass is filled to between half and seven-tenths of its capacity. The L size is suitable for beverages enjoyed in larger quantities, such as shochu or highballs. It is also recommended for coffee, Japanese tea, and black tea. By allowing the aroma to circulate within the vessel, you can experience a deeper aroma and taste. The constriction in the lower part provides a finger-hold, making it easy to grip and less likely to drop. Additionally, the rounded inner bottom makes it easy to stir with a muddler or spoon. The three-footed base prevents it from sticking to coasters.

Koshuhai Inspection Standards

While we only sell products that have passed the manufacturer's inspection, please be aware of the following product characteristics:

• Due to all items being hand-painted by artisans, there may be individual differences in color intensity.
• Aurora items may have individual differences in color development due to significant color changes from kiln variations.
• For any other concerns, please contact us.

There may be slight variations in color, painting style, and weight between individual products. Also, some products may have small black dots (iron spots) on the surface of the vessel or glaze drips, but these do not indicate a quality issue.

MARUHIRO Hasami Ware BARBAR Soba Choko Encyclopedia - Iroe Sobachoko 8cm/170ml

BARBAR's Unique Presence

Hasami ware has a history of over 400 years in Hasami Town, Nagasaki Prefecture. This ambitious work from the Maruhiro BARBAR brand uses traditional "iroe (overglaze painting)" techniques while boldly incorporating modern, vivid animals. As a specialty store, we have seen many types of ceramics, but no other piece brings out such vivid and exotic colors on the transparently beautiful white porcelain unique to porcelain. It transcends the boundaries of traditional Japanese tableware, stimulating modern lifestyles with its leading role presence.

The "Versatility" and Exquisite Hold Recommended by Specialists, Experienced by Touching and Using

Although named a "soba choko," our staff, who use it daily, are convinced that its true potential lies in its function as a "versatile free cup or small bowl." With a size of 8cm in diameter and 6cm in height, it fits perfectly in Japanese hands, making it surprisingly easy to hold. It is incredibly useful in the following scenarios:

• As a dessert cup: For ice cream, yogurt, or cut fruit. The vibrancy of the fruit stands out beautifully against the white porcelain.
• As an everyday teacup or coffee cup: The 170ml capacity is the perfect size for drip coffee or after-meal tea. Its smooth rim allows for direct enjoyment of the drink's flavor.
• As a small bowl (mukozuke): Whether serving blanched spinach, chilled tofu, dipping sauces, or nuts, it adds a refined touch to any appetizer or side dish.
• As an interior accent: It can stylishly adorn any space, serving as a holder for stationery like clips or as a small pot cover for succulents.

"Realistic Texture" Revealing the Artisan's Handwork

When you hold this piece, you can feel the "real breath of pottery" that differs from uniformly mass-produced tableware. Tracing your finger over the iroe (colored) parts, you can feel the slight unevenness of the overglaze transfer, conveying that each piece has been meticulously finished by an artisan. Including the stable, snug fit when stacked, it is crafted to be cherished for a long time.
