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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe \"ultra-thin\" rim, shaved to its limit, brings out the true flavor of sake\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe pleasing feel of it clinging to your fingers. The best of both ceramic and lacquer.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe intersection of Echizen's two great traditions: everyday beauty that embraces you\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBorn 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?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThose who want to enjoy their usual sake with a more delicate and clear taste.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThose who want to experience both the substantial feel of ceramic and the smooth texture of lacquerware in one vessel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThose looking for a high-quality sake vessel that doesn't take up much space in the cupboard and can be used casually every day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThose who want to enjoy the aging process and nurture their vessel over a long period.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"product_care_instructions\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003ePrecautions for long-lasting beauty of totai shikki\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cul\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo not use in microwave, oven, or dishwasher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sudden heating or drying can cause damage to the base material or peeling of the lacquer film, as well as discoloration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvoid prolonged soaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWash with a soft sponge and neutral detergent:\u003c\/strong\u003e Abrasive cleansers or metal scrubbers can damage the delicate lacquer surface, so do not use them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWipe off moisture quickly after washing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allowing water droplets to air dry can cause water stains (limescale marks).
