Usage: The sake glass is placed inside the wooden Masu, creating an elegant way to enjoy chilled or slightly chilled sake. This combination brings together the clarity of glass with the natural beauty and delicate woody aroma of the traditional Masu.

Care: Gently clean the natural wooden Masu after use and allow it to dry completely. Do not soak it in water for extended periods or place it in the dishwasher. The sake glass can be cleaned separately.

Special Features: The Masu (枡) is a traditional Japanese wooden vessel originally used as a measuring container for rice. Today, it is an integral part of Japanese sake culture, particularly at festive occasions and traditional ceremonies.

A particularly charming way to serve sake is to place a sake glass inside the Masu. In Japan, sake is sometimes poured so generously that it overflows the rim of the glass into the wooden Masu – a gesture symbolizing hospitality and generosity.

The natural appearance of the wooden vessel creates a beautiful contrast with the clear sake glass. While the glass preserves the pure aromas of the sake, the Masu adds an additional traditional and sensory dimension to the experience.

This set combines Japanese craftsmanship and aesthetics with a centuries-old drinking tradition, making it a wonderful addition for any sake enthusiast – whether for personal enjoyment or as a thoughtful little gift.
