The ideal sake glass
combines aesthetics and functionality, with the aim of making the most of
sake's unique characteristics. By far the best glass is a wine glass-like
Sophienwald sake glass, made to enjoy sake to the fullest. This glass brings
out the most beautiful scents of Junmai, Honjozo, Ginjo and Daiginjo and
balances the taste and texture perfectly. Other options depend on the occasion,
the type of sake, and serving temperature:
1.
O-Choko: Small earthenware bowls, perfect for hot
sake, often served from a Tokkuri (carafe).
2.
Small Guinomi
glasses: While not ideal for accentuating aromas, it offers a traditional way
to drink sake.
3.
Sakazuki: Low saucers, used during traditional
ceremonies.
4.
Guinomi: Larger glasses made of earthenware or glass,
ideal for serving Umeshu and Yuzushu.
5.
Kikichoko: Porcelain glasses with blue circles on the
bottom, used to judge the color and clarity of sake.
6.
Masu: Wooden cedar square containers, originally
used as rice units, today for Kagami Biraki Ceremony.
