A 2-piece sake set that wears its lighting like champagne. The katakuchi pour-pitcher and its matching sake cup are fired in white Mino porcelain, then finished with a luster overlay that breaks into fine bubble-lace — the supplier's reference to シャンパーニュ (champagne) is literal: the surface mimics the foam-front of sparkling wine the instant it hits the glass.
Spec
- Made by 仁峰 (Ninpou) / Mino Ware in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, curated by ZenKiln
- Material: porcelain (磁器) with fired luster (ラスター) decoration
- Tradition: Mino-yaki (美濃焼) — designated traditional craft of eastern Gifu
- Set contents: 1 katakuchi pour-pitcher + 1 matching-color sake cup (2 pieces)
- Color variants: Red / White — choose at checkout
- Katakuchi pour-pitcher: ~95 × 80 × 120 mm (3.7″ × 3.1″ × 4.7″), ~300 mL, ~170 g

How to use
- Cold sake — pour from the katakuchi into the cup for slow ginjō tasting
- Warm sake — microwave-safe for gentle warming (not prolonged cooking)
- Cross-use — the 50 mL cup also suits a small whisky pour or amaro tasting
- For a pair — buy one Red Set and one White Set (see the side-by-side photos)
Why every piece is slightly different
The luster finish breaks open during the second firing — the pattern depends on kiln position and temperature variance. The supplier frames this as 「器の表情」("the vessel's expression"), not a defect. Each piece is one of a kind within the colorway.
Care
- Top-rack dishwasher: yes
- Microwave: yes (sake warming only)
- Avoid steel wool or abrasive cleansers on the luster surface
