It feels like it's always been at home
It's simple, rustic, and can be used dailylife. 
Although it is porcelain with the texture of clay glaze, it is natural and has a warm and gentle color. 
The roundness of the body fits snugly in the palm of your hand, and the curved edges make it soft against your lips. Its simplicity makes it easy to match with teapots.
It is the perfect partner for your daily tea time. 
Great for everyday use or for guests. From the day I used it, it made me feel like it was a natural part of my home.
To brew delicious tea
In order to brew even more delicious tea, we recommend ``Yuzamashi''. Instead of pouring boiling water directly into the teapot, first put it into the Chakai to lower the temperature, and then pour the hot water from the Chakai into the teapot. Also, do not pour tea directly into the teacup Chakai By transferring it to the teacup and then pouring it into the teacup, you can brew it evenly.

What you need to know before purchasing
-The charm of handmade items lies in the fact that no two items are exactly alike, with pinholes, penetrations, distortions, and the like, and that the colors, size, and shape of each piece vary slightly from one to another.
-The coloring, size, and shape of each piece is slightly different, and the charm of handmade items lies in the fact that they are not exactly the same.
-The finish is relatively uniform, but because it is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, color, and so on. Uneven color/uneven firing Because the glaze is applied by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly. The firing process is also uneven because the temperature varies depending on the firing location in the kiln.
