Know before you buy
The Hana shape features a wider opening designed to aerate and highlight the delicate, floral aromas of Daiginjo sake. The Tsubomi shape is more tapered, which helps concentrate the deeper, umami-rich notes characteristic of Junmai-shu.
Due to the delicate, handcrafted nature of Hirota Glass, we recommend hand washing these glasses with mild soap and warm water to maintain their finish and structural integrity.
Both the Hana and Tsubomi glasses have a capacity of 100ml, which is a standard size for enjoying premium sake in measured, thoughtful pours.
These glasses are intentionally designed to be lightweight, with the Hana weighing 45g and the Tsubomi weighing 55g. This provides an elegant, refined feel that emphasizes the quality of the glass craftsmanship.
Each piece is handcrafted in Tokyo, Japan, by Hirota Glass, a manufacturer that has been preserving traditional glassmaking techniques since 1899.
