Mizunara Whisky Cup
ウィスキーカップミズナラ
A cup suitable for sake or whisky drinking made from mizunara (Quercus oak).
This cup is named after the material from which it is made, mizunara (Quercus oak), a type of wood often selected as the material of choice for whisky barrels owing to its deep, smoky scent. The inner base of each cup is scorched, just as a whisky barrel is charred or toasted, to offer a flavourful reaction between the liquid and wood. As time passes, this cup offers the drinker an ever-greater depth of flavour upon drinking and yet maintains its waterproof coating for washing up. The gently curved grain of each cup is unique, and as such no two cups are entirely identical.

Chūbu
The central Chūbu region is predominantly mountainous, home to the rugged Japan Alps with coasts on both the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean. The region's history has been shaped by its strategic position between the great cities of Kyoto and Tokyo with Nagoya at its heart. Niigata lies to the north while Mt Fuji can be found in the south in Shizuoka Prefecture.
