♦ This sake cup set has a simple yet warm and modern design. It is durable and very sturdy, and the shape fits neatly in the palm of your hand.

♦ Janome is the blue ringed design seen at the bottom professional sake tasting cups. It literally means snake eye, but is more what we would call a bulls eye.

♦ The purpose of these contrasting rings was originally to help assess the clarity of the sake by looking as the crisp border between the blue and white areas. The pure white part of the cup also allows you to check the overall color tint of the sake.

♦ Seto Yaki (ware) is a Japanese ceramic ware produced in the Seto area of Aichi Prefecture, known as the City of Ceramics. With a history of over 1300 years, Seto is one of Japan’s oldest and most respected ceramic production area, famous for its glazing techniques.
