Edo Kiriko Handcrafted Kohaku Sake Glass | Hand-Cut Crystal Cup with Porcelain Base & Wooden Box

A union of two ancient crafts in a single vessel. the Edo Kiriko Handcrafted Kohaku Sake Glass pairs hand-cut crystal with a polished porcelain base — bringing together the brilliance of cut glass and the quiet grace of fine ceramic in a form designed for the slow ritual of sake.

Kohaku (琥珀) — Amber Warmth

The name kohaku (琥珀) refers to amber — a stone treasured across centuries for its warm. golden glow and its quiet power of preservation. Like amber holding sunlight inside ancient resin. this collection holds light within each colored crystal cup. catching every angle of the room and returning it as a quiet glow. The name speaks to depth. warmth. and the patience of things that last.

Where Crystal Meets Porcelain

This is not a traditional sake-cup form. The cup itself is hand-cut crystal in rich jewel tones. polished to refract every passing light. The base. in contrast. is smooth white porcelain — a quiet counterpoint that lifts the cup visually and grounds it in the hand. Two materials. two craft traditions. one unified piece. The result is a vessel that feels both modern and rooted. sculptural and serviceable.

Shaped for the Slow Ritual of Sake

The wide. flared mouth is deliberate — it opens the delicate aroma of sake as you pour. allowing the rice's quiet sweetness. the brewer's careful work. and the temperature's effect on the bouquet to reach the nose. Hold it cool for ginjo and daiginjo; warm it gently for honjozo. Crystal carries temperature with calm restraint. neither robbing nor distorting the experience.

Choose Your Color

Each cup in the collection is finished in a distinct jewel tone — choose the one that speaks to the mood of the evening. the season. or the recipient. Each piece is fully hand-cut and individually finished. with subtle variation a hallmark of the artisan process.

Perfect For

Junmai. Ginjo. Daiginjo. and aged Koshu sake. Equally suited for serving with Japanese-style meals. izakaya gatherings at home. or as a refined gift for sake lovers. collectors of Japanese craft. or anyone who appreciates the slow. considered drink. A thoughtful housewarming. birthday. or celebration gift.
