Handcrafted in Japan by Shōtoku Glass artisans in Tokyo, the Usuhari Daiginjo Sake Glass is a glass of extraordinary lightness and balance, designed to enhance the purity and aromatic complexity of premium sakes.
Its name, "usuhari", refers to the particular thinness of the glass: a lightness achieved through artisanal craftsmanship inspired by ancient techniques used in bulb production. The result is an incredibly fine and uniform glass, mouth-blown with a precision that only the expert hand of an artisan can achieve.
Upon contact with the lips, the ultra-thin rim offers a delicate and almost imperceptible sensation, allowing the sake to express itself naturally. The slender shape of the glass concentrates aromas without dispersing them and enhances the fineness of the sip, amplifying the elegance of Junmai Daiginjo, Ginjo, and the most refined sakes.
At the bottom, a small hand-crafted protrusion promotes the delicate movement of the sake in the glass, aiding the release of aromas and making the tasting experience even more precise and engaging.
Appreciated by sake producers, restaurant professionals, and enthusiasts, the Usahari Daiginjo Sake Glass is the ideal glass for those who wish to experience sake with the same attention dedicated to a great wine.
Each glass is individually packaged in an elegant wooden box, also perfect as a gift.
