Created in the 1970s, the Sori Yanagi Cold Sake Glass (300596) with an inverted bell shape was designed for enjoying chilled sake. The well-known industrial designer Sori Yanagi took two years to find the perfect glass shape that enhances the sake drinking experience. With a solid glass foot, and a clear, minimalist bowl, the Yanagi sake glass is perhaps the most ubiquitous sake cup design of the postwar period. An icon in modern design.
Toyo-Sasaki Glass Sake Cup (300626) with cold-cutting sheer rim finishing is designed for high-alcohol content or hard liquor to allow the beverage to be sipped gradually.
