This sake carafe, sized for one go (approximately 180ml), is made of 100% tin and features gold leaf on the inside. It's a collaboration with gold leaf, a representative traditional craft of Kanazawa. The lustrous gold leaf enhances the flavor of the sake, preserving its aroma and making it perfect for chilled sake, especially premium Daiginjo. Its simple, compact shape makes it suitable for use as a dressing container or tableware. Because tin is soft and unsuitable for machine work, each carafe is handcrafted by artisans, and then each piece is meticulously finished by Kanazawa craftsmen who apply the gold leaf piece by piece.

This is a very popular product, carefully crafted by artisans of Nousaku, a leading traditional Japanese craft brand.
After use, wash with a soft sponge and neutral dish soap. If the shine dulls, use baking soda. Also, because tin (100%) is soft, do not scrub with a hard brush or similar object, as this may scratch the surface. Due to its low melting point, do not place it near open flames. As it is metal, it cannot be used in a microwave oven. Due to the possibility of high temperatures, do not use a dishwasher or dryer.
Do not put it in the freezer, as low temperatures may cause the tin to deteriorate. Also, please avoid storing it in the refrigerator for extended periods. Furthermore, do not leave highly acidic or darkly colored foods in it for long periods, as this may cause discoloration.
