Description

The inner side of these beautifully crafted sake cups feature the shape of a half moon. When filled with clear sake, the moon seems to be shining and gives a beautiful effect. Together with the sake pitcher of the same release, this makes a beautiful set and an unforgettable gift!
For the extraordinary Gold Leaf collection, Nousaku has worked together with traditional gold craftsmen representing the Kanazawa region in the center of Japan. The inner side of the pitcher is gilded with gold leaf in the shape of a half moon. When filled with clear sake, the moon seems to be shining and gives a beautiful effect.

Tin is antibacterial, does not rust and is known for producing an even better taste to your liquor as it removes some of the bitterness. It is said that water stored in tin does not spoil as it absorbs impurities and purifies your beverage. Tin ware cooled in a refrigerator for 2-3 minutes will keep its contents fresh and cold. As Tin is too delicate for machine work, each and every cupis finished by hand by an experience craftsman. Enjoy your refreshments even more with this beautiful work of art!

Recommended care for TIN items:
- Wash with a mild detergent using a soft sponge.
- Polish with a common metal polisher, tooth paste, or pasty baking soda to restore the shine.
- Avoid any abrasive materials, wire wool or brushes, as they may scratch the surface.
- Do not put over fire or use in microwaves, as the melting point is low.
- Refrain from storing in the refrigerator > 30 minutes or in the freezer to avoid deterioration of the material.
- Not suitable for use in dishwashing or drying machines.
- Excessive bending and changing shapes may lead to cracks and breakage of the item.
(For items with gold leaf:)
- Do not change the shape or leave an item in water, and be sure to dry it well after use, as gold leaf may flake off.
