Craftmanship
礼 Greetings ご挨拶

Masu cups have been crafted using the same traditional methods for hundreds of years. Handmade by expert Japanese craftsmen, these cups are filled with the Japanese soul.

Masu cups are crafted from specially selected genuine Japanese Cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) also known as hinoki, widely used in the construction of buildings. The hinoki wood used for these sake cups is sourced from the Kiso District in Nagano Prefecture in Japan.

The lumber is dried either slowly indoors or outdoors under natural conditions. When opening your masu package, please enjoy the rich aroma that emanates from the wood. Whether you are staying in Japan or you are from a country far away, we hope that our masu cups will make your moments of enjoying fine Japanese sake even more special.
