🍶 History

Sakazuki are vessels for drinking sake; more narrowly, the term refers to shallow, spreading, footed cups associated with ceremonial drinking. During the late Edo period, porcelain cups became increasingly common, especially for informal drinking, alongside older earthenware and lacquered forms. Ichinokura, now part of Tajimi in Gifu Prefecture, developed into a specialist center for sakazuki production. Beyond everyday drinking, sakazuki retain a ceremonial role in Japanese weddings. In san-san-kudo, the bride and groom share sake using three cups, expressing their union and the joining of their families.

This Mino ware sakazuki is recommended for sharing sake at celebrations and anniversaries. Its gold-colored glaze and cherry blossom interior give it a festive appearance.
