This cup stands out with its bright sunflower yellow, bringing cheer and warmth to every use. It was developed through the collaboration of Arita kiln craftsmen, who worked tirelessly on the theme of “What makes the ultimate shochu glass?”.
Shochu is a traditional Japanese distilled spirit, usually made from rice, barley, or sweet potatoes. It has a lighter body than whisky but a stronger character than wine. Of course, this cup is also perfect for beer, tea, or even simple water. Its vibrant design makes it ideal for enjoying refreshing summer drinks or as a thoughtful gift.

 Porcelain production started in Japan in the 17th century after kaorin stone was discovered in Arita. From the middle 17th century, large amounts of Arita ceramics, which captivated the European royalty and nobility, were exported to Europe, through the Dutch trading post on Dejima Island in Nagasaki. Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony, was so fond of Arita ceramics that he ordered porcelain resembling Arita ceramics to be made in his electorate. In Arita, the tradition and techniques of Arita ceramics have been preserved for over 400 years, while young potters and workshops take on the callenge of producing ambitious new works. |
