    Product Description

    Each piece in this Handmade Emerald Sake Set reflects the skilled hands of Kazufumi Wada, a celebrated ceramicist honored with the Takuo Award for excellence in Mino ware. Created in Japan at the Keizan Kiln, this set is a beautiful marriage of tradition and innovation. Wada's work breathes new life into ancient techniques, allowing color and form to speak through silence and simplicity.

    Tokkuri and Ochoko in Turkish Glaze

    The Turkish glaze—sometimes known as “Emerald” or “Celestial Blue” in Japanese ceramics—gives this set its tranquil brilliance. The tokkuri (carafe) has a rounded, double-gourd silhouette that fits naturally in the hand. The two ochoko (cups) are delicately flared for comfort and balance, showcasing the luminous glaze that shifts between seafoam and jade, kissed with cream-colored edges.

    Housed in a wooden box adorned with traditional calligraphy, this set is as suitable for gifting as for daily use. It invites peaceful, refined moments—whether you're sipping warm sake under candlelight or presenting it to someone who appreciates modern Japanese design. The subtle texture and matte-gloss finish enhance the tactile experience of each use.

    With its oceanic tone and handcrafted grace, the Handmade Emerald Sake Set brings the stillness of Japanese tradition into your hands—one pour at a time.

    Mino ware · Gifu, Japan

    Mino ware: 1,300 years of ceramic innovation

    Mino ware comes from the Tono region of Gifu Prefecture, one of Japan's most important ceramic-producing areas. Over centuries, kilns in the region developed a remarkable range of styles, from restrained Shino and Oribe pieces tied to tea culture to everyday tableware for modern Japanese homes. Rather than being defined by a single look, Mino ware is known for that diversity. A ceramic tradition that has continued to evolve with the way people actually live and eat.

    What is Mino ware?

    Mino ware, or Minoyaki, is the broad ceramic tradition associated with the Mino region of present-day Gifu Prefecture. Rather than describing one fixed aesthetic, the name encompasses ceramics with a wide range of forms, glazes and decorative approaches developed across the region over more than 1,300 years.

    Why is Mino ware so diverse?

    Mino developed as a large ceramic-producing region rather than around one narrowly defined style. Generations of potters experimented with different clays, firing methods, shapes and glazes, creating a tradition in which rustic tea wares, expressive glazes and practical everyday tableware can all belong to the same ceramic family.

    What are Shino and Oribe?

    Shino and Oribe are two of the best-known ceramic traditions associated with Mino. Shino is celebrated for its soft white glaze, subtle texture and often understated decoration, while Oribe is known for expressive forms and distinctive green, black and painted surfaces. Together with Kiseto and Setoguro, they are closely associated with the celebrated Momoyama-period tea ceramics of the Mino region.

    Where is Mino ware made?

    Mino ware is produced primarily in the Tōnō area of eastern Gifu Prefecture, including major ceramic centres such as Tajimi, Toki and Mizunami. The region remains one of Japan's most important centres of ceramic and tableware production today.
