This cup is a remarkable piece created with the refined techniques of Arita porcelain. The vivid red hearts and the contrasting white surface are crafted using different glazes, which cannot be applied at the same time. To achieve this, artisans meticulously mask and fire the piece through multiple steps, resulting in a labor-intensive and highly detailed work. With a diameter of approximately 9.7 cm and a height of 9.5 cm, it holds around 300 ml when filled to the rim. Its smooth porcelain texture enhances the aroma and flavor of shochu, a traditional Japanese distilled spirit made from grains or sweet potatoes with a mellow yet rich taste. Beyond shochu, it can also be enjoyed with beer, tea, or even cocktails, adding elegance to any occasion. A perfect choice for personal enjoyment or as a thoughtful gift.
