Hakata Vidro Gold Leaf Glass | Sake cup | Japanese sake cup | Made in Japan

Where gold meets glass, sake finds its moment.

This luxurious sake cup is handcrafted by Iki Kobo in Munakata, Fukuoka, using the traditional techniques of Hakata Vidro glassmaking.

Lavishly adorned with thick Kanazawa gold leaf—renowned throughout Japan for its exceptional quality—each cup is individually finished by glass artisan Shinichi Yamazaki. The shimmering gold, layered beneath bold black lines, creates a striking balance of strength and elegance.

Designed specifically for chilled sake, the cup fits comfortably in the palm, enhancing both aroma and flavor. The gold leaf used is specially made to withstand the intense heat of glassmaking, allowing its brilliance to endure through years of use.

Subtle variations in texture and pattern reflect the warmth of true handcraft, offering a quiet sense of calm with every sip. Ideal for celebratory occasions or refined evening rituals, this sake cup embodies Japanese craftsmanship, sophistication, and timeless beauty.
