Handmade Toasting Sake Cups – Wooden "Guinomi" Sake Cups & Crystal Choko Cups in Kanazawa, JAPAN - Kurumira Shop

Exquisite Sakeware That Elevates Every Toast, Crafted with Traditional Techniques.

Enhance your sake toast with these handcrafted sake cups, each a unique masterpiece made to celebrate Japan’s rich sake culture. Our crystal choko cups are crafted from high-transparency semi-red crystal, featuring intricate designs created through sand-etching and "chinkin" (gold-inlay) techniques. The cups are carefully fired at low temperatures, giving them a premium feel and warm, artisanal touch.

The wooden sake cup, especially the "Keyaki" version, is a luxurious piece finished with traditional lacquer and layered with double gold leaf. The radiant shine of the lacquer and the brilliance of the gold leaf highlight the aroma and taste of sake, enhancing the overall drinking experience.

Our workshop, established over 130 years ago in 1897, prides itself on preserving traditional craftsmanship while pursuing the highest quality. Collaborating with renowned companies, we continue to push the boundaries of sakeware, delivering products that reflect the true artistry of Japanese sake drinking. The careful attention to detail extends even to the packaging, making these cups perfect for gifts or special occasions.

Bring an extra touch of elegance to your next sake toast with these finely crafted cups.
