Know before you buy
The sake carafe has a capacity of 350ml. The two included cups are designed for traditional sake servings, measuring 5.5cm in diameter and 4cm in height.
Due to the delicate hand-painted details and the traditional ceramic craftsmanship, we recommend hand-washing this set to preserve the vibrancy of the Yoshidaya-style colors and motifs.
The dimple is an ergonomic design feature that provides a natural, secure grip, making it easier and more comfortable to pour sake, especially when the vessel is full.
The Yoshidaya style is a classic Kutaniyaki tradition characterized by a specific color palette—typically green, yellow, purple, and Prussian blue—applied over a bold, often mustard-toned base. It is known for its rich, opaque glazes and intricate, nature-inspired patterns.
Yes, the ceramic material is suitable for serving warm sake. However, avoid sudden temperature shocks, such as moving the carafe directly from a freezer to boiling water, to prevent potential damage to the ceramic.
