This sake glass series offers two elegant shapes designed to enhance different styles of sake.
Hana – Inspired by the soft bloom of a flower, Hana gently lifts the aroma upward and allows the delicate flavors to spread across the palate. It is especially recommended for Daiginjo, where the high-polish rice and added brewing alcohol create a fragrant, refined bouquet.

Tsubomi – With a silhouette reminiscent of a flower bud, Tsubomi softly holds the aroma and flavor of the rice, making it ideal for Junmai-shu, known for its rich and rounded character.
