This is sake cup set to feel Japanese-like so much and to have lots of fun.
The name of ‘Sizzle’ is Yamato kotoba (the ancient Japanese language) which indicates the state of water dripping.
As this word, you can enjoy the state of Reishu dripping into Guinomi from the big sake server.
The saucer is the one to catch Reishu that is overflown from the sake cup so you can pour as much as Reishu you like.
It seems to be proud of them during you enjoy the quiet adult atmosphere and also in a big party.
The material is porcelain so this sake cup can keep the temperature of sake well.

http://shop.sake-talk.com/product/kikichoko-glass-flavor-aroma/
The elegant dry taste of sake is a good partner when you are relaxing your slow time,
on the other hand, you may drink when you are hanging out as well.
In such a scene, I recommend this glass.
You can pour so much sake all at once that you might use these glasses casually with meals during all of you enjoy chatting.
Originally, this is used for checking the aroma and taste as wine sommeliers do,
and it was made from porcelain. But nowadays, because of its usability, it is used for a sake glass you usually enjoy.
It has made of glass so you might be able to enjoy the softness of sake by staring with your eyes, too.
This trumpet shape is the best to keep sake little by little,
even the size is big. This shape is the best for you because it allows you not to drink sake too much and not to have a hangover.
Usuhari Daiginjo Sake Glass
http://shop.sake-talk.com/product/usuhari-daiginjo-sake-glass/
I really want sake lovers and Japanese culture lovers to touch this glass.
This is made of super-thin glass as the name of Usuhari, and even if you hold it, you can hardly feel its weight.
Only pro manufacturer with pro technique can create such thinner glass and only hand-making manufacturer can create such inward-protuberance at the bottom.
The glass made of super-thin glass hardly allows you to feel uneasy if you put the glass to your lips.
In addition, when you just move the glass around, the mellow smell of Ginjoshu comes out tenderly.
This is certainly a glass for Ginjoshu. This might be the best gift for a sake lover.
Kutani Ware Sake Set Silver
http://shop.sake-talk.com/product/kutani-ware-sake-set-silver/
This is Kutani Ware sake cup set made mostly in Ishikawa prefecture.
The server looks round, and the color of each cup is colored light and cute; I can say this is utility sake set for both Reish and Atsukan.
The soft and simple color seems to be good porcelain for Atsukan but it is hardly affected by the change of temperature.
When you pour firm cold Reishu, this sake cup keeps the change of temperature to minimum effectively.
In addition, The Kutani Ware sake cups here are colored pink and blue each.
It might be the best sake set for a married couple to spend the sweet time together.
I think this is the best gift on your parents’ wedding anniversary.

They are very fine sake set in good design, of course, and also you can enjoy the fragrant bamboo; on the other hand,

This is a simple sake cup which you can taste of delicious sake little by little as feeling the slow-flowing time.
In addition, the design looks like the atmosphere of different countries from Japan somehow.
