Cool and mellow. Tin, the best material for drinking vessels.
Tin transfers heat very well. Turns cool with cold sake in it, and turns moderately warm with hot sake.
Further, due to its high ion effect, it has a sterilizing and freshness-retaining function, which is why the flavor of sake becomes soft and mellow.
Tin has almost no smell of metal, and as it is harmless to the human body, it can be used safely. Moreover, since it is highly acid-resistant, it doesn't rust in black alike silver, and can be handled similarly as normal vessels, thus, easy to maintain.
The gold foil is done by Ishikawa Prefecture's traditional techniques. Not to mention its use in everyday drinks, your special guests would surely be deeply impressed by its brightness as well.

What Is Takaoka Copperware?
The production of Takaoka Copperware started when Toshinaga Maeda, the feudal lord of Kaga Domain, gathered casting craftsmen to Takaoka town in 1611.
Takaoka Copperware refers to copper wares that are created by pouring melted, high-temperature copper into a mold, and by molding and polishing.
95% of the copper wares, such as the bells at the temples, are made in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture.
Nousaku products are made by the traditional technology, that has been nurtured in Toyama, Japan for 400 years.
