A fascinating piece of golden glass now features a serene miniature painting of a green turtle on its base.

This sake cup is coated with transparent lacquer, and its unevenly brushed layer creates a lavish and varied reflection, emanating from the gold leaves at the base.

The green turtle, meticulously hand-painted at the bottom, is detailed and protected by a layer of glass, ensuring the design remains unscratched. This heat-proof glass, made in Aomori Prefecture by Tsugaru Vidro, reflects the region's deep-rooted tradition in glassware craftsmanship.

The painting captures the essence of the peaceful marine creature, with its finely detailed shell and limbs, evoking tranquility and a connection with nature.

Accompanied by the elegant depiction of a green turtle, this sake cup transforms your home bar into something more special, impressing guests and family. It is believed that good sake ware enhances the flavor of sake.

Ideal for special occasions, whether enjoying sake alone or with others, this exquisite cup also serves as an extraordinary gift for sake enthusiasts, presented in a chic box bearing the Yoshita Kasho logo.
