We first met Nobu from 100% Design in London at the event with the same name almost 2 years ago and have been thrilled to carry his fantastic products since then. Our particular favorite is the Cherry Blossom glass, so imagine how excited we were to learn that he has launched a new size for Sake being the sake lovers that we are.
A couple words about this fab glass. It basically turns the notion of annoying condensation rings on its head, and make them something to look forward to. Every time you lift your glass a beautiful Cherry Blossom, the Sakura Flower appears and subtely changes its shape. The glass subtely develops its shape from the top where ist perfectly round and then slowly starts to completely change. From the side nothing is really visible, But once you lift it from a table top, voilà there it is… This is an amazing quality glass, the base feels thick and heavy, yet the walls are nice and thin giving off a crisp chime when toasted.
This is a set of two glasses per box (and it is also a very pretty box…), and each glass holds 80 cl or 2.7 floz (basically enough for a nice sip of Sake!)
Price: $48 / 32€
