Celebrate the beauty of traditional craftsmanship with this exquisite sake set, featuring a tokkuri sake carafe and two matching sake cups. The pieces are adorned with arabesque vines and blossoms rendered in radiant gold, set against a rich blue background decorated with aochibu—a classic Kutani technique in which tiny raised dots are meticulously applied in a uniform pattern. The tokkuri is accented with a band of deep red and gold for a luxurious finish.

Made of fine porcelain, the set offers a smooth, refined texture that preserves the pure taste of sake, whether served warm or chilled. Presented in a box adorned with traditional Japanese motifs, this ornate set brings a sense of artistry to any occasion and makes a meaningful gift for sake lovers.

Kutani ware is a traditional Japanese porcelain from the Kaga region in Ishikawa Prefecture, with a history spanning over 350 years. Known for its vibrant overglaze enamel designs and use of five signature colors, known as Kutani gosai—navy blue, red, purple, green, and yellow pigments. This timeless craft has continuously evolved through generations of artisans who balance innovation with a deep respect for tradition. 

Kutani ware exhibits a diverse range of distinctive styles, shaped by evolving artistic tastes over the centuries. Styles such as ko-Kutani, with its bold colors, geometric patterns, and painterly detail, and akae-saibyo, marked by ultra-fine red lines. Many pieces feature traditional Japanese motifs, such as kacho (flowers and birds) and sansui (landscapes), offering a timeless glimpse into the beauty of nature and the seasons.
