Hexagonal White Urushi Sake Cup (OUT OF STOCK)

Description

I am a Hexagonal White Urushi Sake Cup. Pick me up to learn about all six sides of my personality. It’ll take a few sips for everything to sake in.

Curator’s Notes

It is not surprising that just like Japanese cuisine, the Japanese sake culture places significance on the vessel that the alcohol is delivered in. We love this sake cup both for its unique hexagonal shape, but also for its light weight material. The lightness of the cup will be beautiful paired with a lighter, crisper tasting sake.
