Description:
Cast from pure tin, and with substantial heft, this large sake cup has a textured surface that rests comfortably in your hand. Chosen for its resistance to oxidation and corrosion, tin’s ionic effect removes bitterness, giving sake a mellow and rich taste. The Yure cup roughly translates to “shaking,” and refers to the wobble this cup achieves. This whimsical feature finds a way to balance out and stand upright on a level surface.
