Hokkaido Selections | Kelp Sake Glass

The “Konbugui Tsumimi,” a natural sake cup made from processed kelp from Hidaka, Hokkaido, is a patented product handcrafted by Nakai Eisaku Shoten, a century-old shop founded in 1927. (Japanese Patent No.: 1364451)

The glass exudes the natural sheen and aroma of kelp, enhancing the mellow and lingering flavor of sake or shochu. The surface gloss comes from a natural agar coating, and each glass is handmade with slight variations in shape.
