Handcrafted Japanese Sake Cups - Pack of 4

Originally, a masu was a square wooden box used to measure rice in Japan, but today, masus are predominantly employed for the purpose of drinking sake. This Set of 4 Japanese Masu Wooden Sake Cups showcases the beautifully engraved Kanji character for "happiness," adding an element of cultural charm and sophistication to your sake-drinking experience.

Crafted from hinoki wood, also known as Japanese Cypress, these sake cups are meticulously made to ensure they do not leak. The hinoki wood emits a calming aroma, enhancing the drinking experience and setting these cups apart from other vessels. Each cup measures 3.25 inches square and 2.25 inches in height, offering ample space for a 4-ounce serving of sake. The inside dimensions of 2-3/8 inches square and 1-3/4 inches depth provide a comfortably deep space for your drink.

These cups are perfect for chilled sake, either served directly inside the masu or with a glass sake cup placed within. When filled with sake, the wood imparts a subtle, sweet fragrance, complementing the beverage's flavor and aroma. Designed for easy cleaning, these sake cups require only running water and should not be washed with dish soap or hot water, preserving their natural aroma and integrity.

Made in Japan with high-quality hinoki cypress wood, these cups feature interlocking joints that prevent leaks while allowing for slight wood expansion and contraction due to changes in temperature and humidity, ensuring their longevity and authenticity. This attention to detail and craftsmanship sets these sake cups apart, offering a versatile and authentic serving option for your sake-drinking experience.

In conclusion, this Set of 4 Japanese Masu Wooden Sake Cups combines the traditional elegance of Kanji engraving with the exceptional craftsmanship of hinoki wood, creating a sophisticated and functional addition to your sake-drinking ritual. Whether enjoying a chilled sake directly in the masu or with a glass sake cup nested inside, these cups will elevate and enhance your appreciation for this cherished Japanese beverage.
