shitatari: Sake Vessels for Savoring a Moment of True Qualit
Historically, Japanese sake was primarily offered during sacred Shinto rituals or consumed at celebratory events, rarely making its way into the daily lives of the common people. This precious and revered "sake" is the inspiration behind the vessel, shitatari (meaning "dripping").
The name and form of this vessel express the moment when the fermentation process concludes and a single, transparent, beautiful drop of sake drips down.
Its silhouette is designed to evoke the breathtaking beauty of that instantaneous drip—a product of brewing techniques cultivated over long years while simultaneously embodying the century-old craftsmanship of a local factory, all concentrated into this one moment.
We hope that everyone who lives with shitatari will not merely experience material satisfaction, but will daily recognize the importance of finding the "beauty" and "skill" inherent in small, ordinary moments, thereby leading a truly enriched life.
