Playful tableware set
A stylish 3-piece set consisting of a plate, katakuchi (sake pourer), and sake cup to elegantly enhance your dining table.
The black base with a burnished silver-like luster creates a sophisticated appearance.
The smaller sake cup is perfect for slowly savoring your sake. 
When you fill the katakuchi to the brim with sake, it flows smoothly into the cup.
The trick to achieving an aesthetically pleasing pour is to aim for a full cup with a swift, confident stream.
As the sake meets the air, its rich aroma becomes even more enhanced.
Relaxing evening drink
The plate's indentation is ideal for serving two items, such as nukazuke (rice bran pickles) and roasted fava beans.
The notch in the plate perfectly accommodates your chopsticks.
Perfect for unwinding at the end of the day or entertaining guests.
It would also make a wonderful gift for sake enthusiasts.

| Recommended maintenance by the potter | ・Due to water absorption, place oily foods etc. In such cases, soaking it in water before use will prevent stains from forming. ・After using the utensils, wash them as soon as possible and dry them thoroughly. Insufficient drying may cause mold and odors. ・Please wash separately from hardware and hard tableware. This may cause chipping or damage. |
| Product characteristics/ Handling precautions |
・It is a water-absorbing earthenware item baked with china clay. Even if the same technique is used to make clay items, each piece will have a slightly different color, shape, and size due to the effects of the natural minerals contained in the soil and glaze. ・There may be pinholes, and the pattern and color may differ. ・There are black spots called iron spots throughout. ・Recommended for those who want to enjoy the warm texture that is unique to handmade products, each with a different look. ・Penetration (cracks in the surface glaze) may occur during the use process, but this is not a crack or breakage, so there is no problem with use. ・As you use it, it may become colored or darken over time. We hope you enjoy the change over time as a flavor. ・Prices may be reviewed or revised depending on the artist or pottery. |
Things you should know before purchasing
What creates the expression of a pottery are spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape that cannot be seen in mass-produced products. The charm of handmade pottery is that it may have pinholes, intrusions, distortions, etc., and is not perfectly arranged, but each one is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two are exactly the same. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. [Individual differences] 
Because each item is handmade, there may be individual differences in shape, size, color, etc. [Uneven color/uneven baking] 
Since the glaze is applied one by one by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes]
〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.
