Awaken with the Chill, Blossom with the Temperature – A Masterpiece of Sakeware
Experience the harmony of craftsmanship and innovation with the Madoromu Sake Cups. These exquisite metal sake cups are crafted from copper and coated with tin, featuring intricate seasonal patterns that transform with temperature. When filled with a cold beverage at approximately 16°C (60.8°F) or lower, the patterns come to life, revealing vibrant colors as if nature itself is awakening before your eyes.
A Fusion of Tradition and Functionality
Copper is an excellent heat conductor, allowing you to feel the refreshing chill the moment you hold the cup or sip from it. The tin coating on the surface not only enhances aesthetics but also offers practical benefits. Tin has long been valued in Japan for its purifying properties, believed to remove impurities from water and alcohol, refining the taste and ensuring a smoother drinking experience. Traditionally, it has been said that “water stored in tin vessels does not spoil,” and that tin sake cups help remove harsh flavors, making sake taste even more mellow and refined.
A Seasonal Spectacle with Every Sip
The unique temperature-reactive design creates a mesmerizing effect. When chilled liquid is poured into the cup, the flowers bloom, fireworks burst, and the seasonal motifs come alive in vivid colors. This elegant transformation adds a visual delight to your drinking experience, making every sip a moment to cherish.
Embrace Tranquil Moments
More than just a drinking vessel, the Madoromu Sake Cup invites you to enjoy the art of slowing down. Watching the colors emerge as you pour and share a drink enhances the social experience, fostering deeper connections with friends and loved ones. These cups are not limited to sake—they can be used for a variety of cold beverages, making them a versatile addition to any occasion.
A Thoughtful Gift for Special Moments
Whether it’s for a cherished loved one, a festive gathering, a restaurant setting, or a personal indulgence, the Madoromu Sake Cups make for a memorable and elegant gift. The name "Madoromu" (meaning "to doze off") reflects the wish for the user to enjoy a peaceful and soothing drinking experience with every use.
