Shot Glass With Kaleidoscopic Patterns

When pouring clear sake and looking from the above, beautiful kaleidoscopic patterns appear inside this small shot glass. Traditional Edo Kiriko produces a dignified presence with its delicate facet patterns, whereas this modern shot glass produces prismatic reflection and refraction effects with a combination of its comparatively larger facet patterns and the transparent liquid poured inside the glass.

Edo Kiriko glass is not complete yet when our craftsmen cut and finish it. Our Edo Kiriko glass is complete at the moment when you appreciate it as you pour sake, put flowers inside, or put on the shelf as a standalone display. Depending on how to use or where to be used, Edo Kiriko changes its expression variously. You will be the one to complete the beauty of Edo Kiriko of your own.

Please imagine the world of the beautiful kaleidoscope that this small shot glass produces and the impression when placing it between your fingers. Contained inside this faceted glass is our wish to bring an infinite and broaden outlook toward the future of the person holding this glass. It is a shot glass recommended as a gift for your loved ones, and also as a lifetime partner of yourself.

"When creating each Sake shot glass, I imagine the eye level of the user as they lift the glass to take a sip. At first, I think about how the base is going to look, and design it so the user gets the most visual pleasure."

For the connoisseur, or indeed anyone with an interest in Sake, the Kittatehai (S) is a shot glass in a range of colors featuring the outstanding craftsmanship of HORIGUCHI GLASS. These are the smaller versions often enjoyed in exclusive restaurants by groups sharing an EDO-KIRIKO Tokkuri Sake decanter. Of course, the Kittatehai (S) is suitable not only for Sake, but also for whiskey, tequila, or any other spirit. The cool, refreshing summer colors make them a delightful summertime gift. Best enjoyed as a complete set, they are great pieces to collect.
