Kochi Traditional Banquet Utensils | Tosa Banquet Cup

Handcrafted by Kochi artisans, this set of traditional banquet wine glasses features pointed bottoms that prevent them from being placed on a table; once wine is poured into them, they must be drunk immediately.

At a banquet in Kochi, no one can easily “put down” this glass of wine.

The “Kebei (banquet glass)” is a wine glass that cannot be left unattended: with its pointed bottom, perforated design, and quirky mask-like shape, once wine is poured into it, you have no choice but to drink it all. You can’t put it on the table, you can’t escape it, you can only drink it down!

Traditionally, these cups were often used for banquet games, symbolizing the Kochi people’s emphasis on the hospitality culture of “drinking and entertaining to their heart’s content.” Whether you are a sake collector, a Japanese izakaya enthusiast, or a sake lover looking to give a gift, this set of sake cups, full of playfulness and handcrafted beauty, is worth treasuring.

🤪Fire Man Cup — The cup leaks wine, so you have to plug it with your hand to drink!
👺Tengu Cup —Not only can it not be placed on a table, but it also holds wine inside its long nose, with a capacity approximately 3 to 4 times that of a regular cup!
😊Turtle Cup —Because its face is so cute, I can’t let it lie on the table, I can only hold it…
