New item: USUHARI glass
NEW!!
Less than 1mm thinness
A pair of blown glasses called “USUHARI” in wooden box is each carefully hand crafted by master craftsmen in Tokyo, Japan. They are born from same techniques as making the electric light bulbs. 💡

The interface between the glass and mouth has been minimized, resulting in an exquisitely fine mouthfeel.
While they appear to be delicate, they can be handled with the usual care of other glassware.

New item: Water Cooling Pitcher (YUZAMASHI)
NEW!!
Japanese water cooling pitchers, called "yuzamashi", are used to lower the temperature of freshly-heated water before using the water to steep tea leaves. The idea is that after water is heated, it is poured first into the yuzamashi, and then from the yuzamashi it is poured onto the tea leaves in a teapot. Yuzamashi are especially helpful when preparing Matcha, Gyokuro and Sencha tea, which require a cooler water temperature for steeping.
This water cooling pitcher is handcrafted from natural clay by the well-known Gyokko Studio in Tokoname (Aichi Prefecture). It is partly covered with a flowing ash glaze around the top of the body. The result of glazing pattern makes for a unique appearance and adds texture interest.
