PRODUCT

1.This sake cup “shitatari” is made by meticulously shaving a stainless steel round bar, just as rice, the raw material for making sake, is carefully shaved.

　It is similar to the process of carefully shaving rice to make sake. When sake is poured into the cup, it reflects and sparkles, making the transparency of the sake stand out even more.

2.This form was designed as an homage to the beautiful moment

　When a drop of sake drips down in the sake-making process “tobintori”.Imagining the moment when the sake is fermented and ready to be poured is the best part of this product, allowing you to enjoy sake more deeply.You can also pour sake from the cup into the saucer until it overflows, as is often done with Masuzake.Since the cup and saucer are separable, you can actually　reproduce the dripping of sake by lifting the cup part in this state.In fact, the ease of separating the cup and saucer hides a technique backed up by precision processing technology.

3.You can experience a unique touch of sake on the lips (at the rim of this cup).

　A block of stainless steel is shave to just the right thinness, and the thinness of the mouthpiece has been adjusted to a perfect degree, creating a strange sensation as if your lips are directly touching the sake, instead of touching the vessel.The sake cup can be used for a long time without worrying about cracking.

We have received comments from professionals who have actually tried our products.

・Japanese restaurant in Paris

We had a sake tasting with the chef at Shitatari. We were very surprised to find that the taste of sake became deeper and fuller. The mouthfeel was so soft that it did not feel like metal. I was surprised that the sake poured from the glass or clay cups was more elegant and soft and silky than the sake poured from glass or clay cups. The chef commented that drinking sake in a shitatari seemed to calm down the alcohol taste peculiar to sake and gave a softer impression.

It feels great when I hold it. The roundness of the bottom, the massive feel of the saucer, and the mouth feel of the drinking cup. It has a different quality from glass. The temperature is directly transmitted to the lips, so it is fun to sense the temperature of the drink with your head for a moment in advance. For example, if you serve it as an aperitif, it will have an impact. I also think there is a special feeling when serving a few good drinks during the meal as well, or when serving in a carafe. I think it would also be interesting to serve food as a vessel in an appetizer or amuse.
