Maki-e Tosoki Sake Drinking Set

If you go to any Japanese shop selling kitchenware and serveware and ask for a sake set, you will get an 150-180 ml (5-6 fl oz) bottle called a tokkuri and a pair or three shot-sized cups called choko. But that's not the only kind of sake set available in Japan. If you happen to be invited to a Japanese wedding or formal New Year dinner, you'll see another type of serveware and drinkware called a tosoki, which consists of a square or round decanter with a long sprout, and a handle called a choshi, and wide-mouth cups called sakazuki. All these and more, you can find in the Maki-e Tosoki Sake Drinking Set! The Maki-e Tosoki Sake Drinking Set includes three sakazuki cups of different sizes, a choshi decanter, and a stand for the cup (you are supposed to serve one at a time). What makes it even more special is the tray for the set: a 397 x 226 x 30 mm (15.6 x 8.9 x 1.2") amazing example of the maki-e style of lacquerware that uses gold and silver dust and powdered colors to create spectacular images, often on a black background like here. Take a deep dive into a classical Japanese culture and craftsmanship with this unique set!
