Sake Cup, 2019
Shigaraki clay
A Japanese sake cup, also known as an ochoko (お猪口) or guinomi (ぐい呑み), is a small ceramic or porcelain vessel used for drinking sake, a traditional Japanese alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice. Sake cups play an essential role in the experience of enjoying sake, both in casual and formal settings. They are generally small, holding about 1 or 2 ounces of sake. The small size allows the drinker to savor the flavor and aroma of the sake while consuming it in moderation.
