Sake Set 5-piece Ceramic, Carafe with Spout and Four Cups, Wave Pattern

Sake from Wine Glasses Tastes like a Compromise

The bottle is on the table, everyone has a glass that's too big, and after two sips, the sake is lukewarm. This five-piece set solves that through portion size: a carafe with a spout and four small cups from which you refill, instead of pouring. The wave pattern runs in blue over the lower part of all pieces.

What the Carafe and Cups Offer in Use

• Carafe with a flared pouring rim: The funnel-shaped opening breaks the stream and allows the sake to flow drip-free into the narrow cups – the point where a straight bottle would spill over the edge of the table.
• Recessed waist on the carafe: The constriction serves as a gripping point. This means the carafe doesn't need a handle and can be held securely even when warm.
• Cups with 5 cm diameter and 4 cm height (2 x 1.6 in): The small portion stays at temperature until the last sip. This is precisely where wine glasses fail, as warm sake cools down in minutes.
• Carafe height 13.4 cm (5.3 in): Fits upright in a water bath for warming and stands stably without tipping over.
• Dense ceramic shard: Does not absorb liquid, does not release foreign flavors, and retains the filled temperature longer than thin-walled glass.
• Offset drinking rim in dark glaze: Fully glazed and smooth on the lip – no rough, unglazed offset.

Suitable for evenings with Japanese food at home, for hosts who want to serve four people at once, for collectors of Japanese tableware, as a housewarming or birthday gift, and for open kitchen shelves where the set can remain on display.

Can the Set Be Cleaned in the Dishwasher?

The carafe has a narrow waist where dishwater can collect and leave marks when drying – hand washing is the safer option here. Use a narrow bottle brush and let the carafe drain upside down. To warm, place the filled carafe in a water bath of about 40 to 50 °C (104 to 122 °F); do not place it directly on the stove or in the microwave, as the sudden temperature change can crack the ceramic. Allow the cups and carafe to dry completely before storing.

The evening won't just be an incidental drink, but a gathering where someone refills.
