Immerse yourself in the rich tradition of Japanese sake rituals with this Bizen-yaki ceramic sake warming set, handcrafted by the esteemed potter Shusen SHIBAOKA. This set, including a tokkuri (sake bottle) and two ochoko (sake cups), embodies the raw beauty and natural elegance that define the Bizen ware tradition.
 
🍶 Authentic Bizen Ware – Crafted in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, Bizen-yaki is one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, known for its unglazed, high-fired surfaces. The rich, earthy tones and organic patterns emerge from the iron-rich clay exposed to high temperatures during wood firing, creating unique ash deposits and fire marks.
 
🍶 Distinctive Texture & Earthy Aesthetics – The tokkuri and cups showcase a coarse, tactile texture with natural ash speckling and hues ranging from deep ochre to smoky grey. The slight irregularities and nuanced colouring reflect the unpredictable beauty of traditional kiln firing.
 
🍶 Sake Warming Tradition – The tokkuri (sake bottle) is designed with a rounded, bulging body that efficiently retains warmth, while the narrow neck makes pouring precise and smooth. The ochoko cups feature a comfortably rounded shape, enhancing the tactile experience of sipping warm sake.
 
🍶 Perfect for Sake Connoisseurs – Ideal for serving warm sake, this set enhances the flavour and aroma of fine sake, allowing the natural clay to subtly soften the taste. Whether enjoyed during a ceremonial gathering or intimate evening, it brings a touch of Japanese elegance to your sake rituals.
 
This Bizen-yaki ceramic sake warming set with two cups not only serves as a functional piece for sake enjoyment but also as an artful representation of Japan’s ceramic heritage. A beautiful gift for sake enthusiasts and collectors alike, it celebrates the essence of natural craftsmanship and refined simplicity.
