Collection: Tokkuri
What Is a Tokkuri?
A tokkuri is a traditional Japanese sake carafe used for serving sake. It is typically recognized by its narrow neck and rounded body, a design that helps retain the temperature of the sake while allowing for easy pouring.
Tokkuri can be used to serve sake either warm or chilled, depending on the style of sake and personal preference. It is traditionally paired with sake cups such as ochoko, guinomi, or sakazuki, creating a complete and elegant sake-serving experience.
Today, tokkuri are crafted from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, glass, and metal. Handcrafted pieces, particularly those made in renowned pottery regions such as Kutani ware and Arita ware, are valued not only for their practicality but also as expressions of Japanese artistry and craftsmanship.
A beautifully made tokkuri enhances both the presentation and enjoyment of sake, making it an essential part of Japanese dining culture and a thoughtful gift for sake enthusiasts.
Tamekichi Mitsui
The art of Mitsui Tamekichi captures the depth and sensibilities of discipline and aesthetic refinement. His use of vibrant Kutani gosai "five colors" and elegant, dignified expressions bring to life the sophisticated artistry of natural motifs. By embracing ko-Kutani or old Kutani styles and perfecting techniques passed down through the centuries, his creations garner admiration for the enduring classical beauty of Kutani ware's polychrome artistry.
