Key Features

• When sake is poured into the cup, Mt. Fuji will be reflected in the surface. You can enjoy the best view while drinking.
• The cup is made of tin with 99.99% purity. Tin is soft, and it is interesting to see the change in shape over time.
• Tin drinkware has been adored for its resistance to oxidation and corrosion since antient times. It is believed it has high ion effects to make sake or beer taste milder.
• Tiny dents can be found on the surface, but they are the specific feature of sand mold casting, not defects.

Use & Care

• Not compatible with microwaves, dishwashers or refrigerators.
• After use, wash it with a soft sponge and neutral detergent. Do not use metal brushes or steel wools, which may damage the surface.
• Do not put it over open fire as tin has low melting point. For its high heat conductivity, be careful for burns when pouring hot water in the cup/glass.
• As tin is soft, it may be transformed by strong impact. Do not hit it with hard materials.
