This pair of sake glasses is handcrafted by Iki Kobo in Munakata, Fukuoka, Japan.
The set features two colors—red and green—both finished with generous layers of artisan-grade gold leaf from Kanazawa. Each piece is carefully made by glass artist Shinichi Yamazaki, using traditional Hakata Vidro techniques.
The thick gold leaf is designed to withstand high heat during glassmaking, creating a rich glow that deepens with use.
Though the glasses share the same shape, each color has its own character: red feels lively and festive, while green offers a calm, refined presence.
Comfortably sized for the hand, these glasses enhance the aroma and flavor of chilled sake.
Subtle variations from handcraft make every set unique.
Perfect for celebrations, anniversaries, or a meaningful gift, this pair brings a quiet sense of Japanese elegance to any moment.
