Know before you buy
A Guinomi is a traditional Japanese cup originally designed for sake, but its small size makes it perfect for serving concentrated teas, such as high-grade gyokuro or matcha, as well as spirits.
No, these cups are not dishwasher safe. Due to their vintage nature and delicate hand-painted finish, we recommend hand washing them gently with mild soap to preserve the glaze and artwork.
With a 40ml capacity, these are quite small—roughly the size of a standard shot glass. They are intended for slow, mindful sipping rather than a large volume of beverage.
These cups are in very good condition, meaning they have been well-preserved and show minimal signs of wear. While they are authentic vintage pieces, they remain fully functional and aesthetically beautiful for daily use or display.
These cups are made of ceramic and are not insulated. They will conduct heat from the liquid, so they will feel warm to the touch when filled with hot tea.
