This 100% tin sake cup is perfect for those seeking a smooth, mellow taste. Since ancient times, tin has been used for sake and tea utensils, owing to its reputation for preventing water from spoiling and for removing unpleasant flavors from sake. Pour sake into the tin cup, eliminating any unpleasant flavors, enhancing its flavor. Its excellent thermal conductivity also makes it ideal for serving cold sake. Furthermore, traditional closed-neck sake cups are ideal for fresh, refreshing, and smooth sake. This sake cup, in particular, pairs surprisingly well with refreshing sake, such as regular sake, honjozo sake, and namazake. Its shape also complements other types of sake. Each cup is wrapped in washi paper and handcrafted by artisans. It also makes a wonderful gift.
This is a very popular product that has been carefully crafted by the artisans of Nosaku, a leading traditional Japanese craft brand.
After use, wash with a soft sponge and kitchen detergent (neutral). If the luster begins to fade, use baking soda. Also, since tin (100%) is soft, do not scrub with a hard brush, as this may scratch the surface. Do not place near open flames as it has a low melting point. As it is made of metal, it cannot be used in the microwave. Do not use in the dishwasher or dryer as it may become very hot.
Do not store in the freezer, as low temperatures may cause the tin to deteriorate. Also, avoid storing in the refrigerator for long periods of time. Also, do not leave highly acidic or dark-colored foods in the container for long periods of time, as this may cause discoloration.
