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
  • Sake cup (盃 / sakazuki, ochoko-class): φ 55 × 55 mm (φ 2.2″ × 2.2″), ~50 mL, ~70 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
