It won't take you more than 24 hours in Japan to realize that the Japanese obsession with cherry trees is no exaggeration! The pattern of the cherry blossom with its five petals is everywhere you look and every aspect of the cherry tree, including the pink-white color of the flowers, their fragrance, and even the wood of the tree are used in countless items, both everyday and special. The Hacoa Wooden Sake Cup is one such item and even though it's for everyday use, nobody can say that it isn't special!
The Hacoa Wooden Sake Cup comes a company that specializes in creating exquisite versions of household items using natural wood – in this case, cherry – drawing from a woodworking and lacquerware tradition ongoing in Fukui Prefecture's Echizen area for over a thousand years. Approximately 251 x 36 mm (9.9 x 1.4") and with a 40 cc (1.4 fl oz) capacity, this is as good as any choko (sake cup) you will find anywhere in Japan but much more stylish and natural, allowing you to enjoy your sake in a unique way!
