The Kumagai company, established in 1935, is an expert in crafting traditional Kyoto pottery, known as Kyoyaki - Kiyomizuyaki. This type of earthenware has a long - standing popularity in Kyoto and across Japan. Kyoto's pottery history dates back to the late 5th century, and the Kyo Yaki style reached its peak in the 16th century when Kyoto was the political and trade hub. The flourishing tea ceremony in Kyoto led to a huge demand for earthenware tea sets. With artisans from all over Japan flocking to the capital, the Kyo Yaki style incorporated various forms and techniques from different regions. This sake set comes with a sake pot and two cups. The sake pot has a diameter of 2.5 inches and a height of 5.5 inches, while each sake cup has a diameter of 2 inches and a height of 2.5 inches. Made from high - quality earthenware, this set is covered by our 30 - day return policy.
Using this sake set is a breeze. First, pour your favorite sake into the sake pot. Then, gently lift the pot and pour the sake into the cups. When handling the set, be careful as it's made of earthenware, which can break if dropped. After use, wash the pot and cups with mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive sponges that could scratch the surface. Let them air - dry completely before storing. Keep the set in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality over time.
