Ultra Thin Cup
Gifu prefecture
Light as a feather
These ultra thin cups made of porcelain are surprisingly durable yet light, making for a blissful drinking experience. Expertly hand-painted, you get a choice of gold and silver spirals on the inside or the “hoshizora” version in Japanese, meaning “starry night.” Raising a glass is as easy as thought, and when light shines through the porcelain you can catch glints of light off the designs. A dreamy addition to your table setting.

Words from an expert
Shape matters for the gesture, aroma and flavor experience for your sake. A cupped shape will enhance the aroma, a flat ware will instill a bowing gesture, and the lip shape will control how the sake hits your palate.
