Hozuki Wooden Sake Cup Set Set of 4

In short, no, and here’s why.
The Hozuki sake cups are made from natural fine wood that can be damaged by excessive heat or moisture.
Microwaves and dishwashers may warp the shape, crack the grain, or wear down the protective coating.
To preserve their beauty and integrity, we recommend gently hand-washing your cups with mild soap, then drying them with a soft cloth.
A few moments of care go a long way toward keeping them at their best.

Yes, absolutely.
Each cup in the Hozuki sake cup set is made from natural Japanese magnolia and coated with a thin, food-safe layer of polyurethane.
This finish protects the wood while preserving its gentle texture and warmth.
You can enjoy your drinks with confidence, these are cups made to be both beautiful and safe for everyday use.

While designed in the spirit of traditional guinomi, the Hozuki sake cups are remarkably versatile.
They’re ideal for Japanese sake, but also pair beautifully with whiskey, plum wine, herbal liqueurs, or even a small pour of espresso.
The smooth interior and soft grain of Japanese magnolia enhance both warm and chilled drinks, adding a tactile elegance to every sip.

Yes, and that’s part of their quiet charm.
With regular use, the Hozuki sake cups may develop a richer tone and softer sheen, shaped gently by your hands and the passage of time.
This natural aging process is embraced in Japanese aesthetics, where imperfection and change are seen as signs of beauty.
Each cup becomes more personal, more expressive, a reflection of your own moments with it.

It’s the quiet details that give the Hozuki sake cups their presence.
Carved from Ho wood (朴 Japanese magnolia), these cups naturally insulate, making them ideal for both warm and chilled drinks. The wood feels balanced in the hand, never too hot, never too cold.

Also…no two cups are alike. Each one carries its own grain and variation, reflecting the wabi-sabi spirit of the beauty found in imperfection, and in things made to be lived with.
More than drinkware, Hozuki is an object of calm, a companion for thoughtful moments.

Yes, and they’re made with daily life in mind.
These Japanese sake cups, crafted from fine-grained wood and sealed with a food-safe coating, are built for regular use without sacrificing elegance.
The surface stays smooth, the texture warm, and the feeling in hand is quietly comforting.
Whether you're pouring sake, whiskey, or something herbal, Hozuki brings a soft ritual to even the most ordinary moments.

Absolutely.
Though inspired by Japanese tradition, the Hozuki Japanese sake cup sets blend beautifully into modern Western aesthetics, including sophisticated spaces like minimalist kitchens or even yacht interior design.
Their clean silhouette and natural finish complement both rustic textures and sleek surfaces.
Whether used as a wood cup for sake, whiskey, or liqueur, Hozuki brings quiet refinement and tactile warmth to any setting, on land or at sea.

Without a doubt.
The Hozuki sake cups are a thoughtful choice among both wooden gifts and more refined handmade wooden gifts.
Each set is crafted in small batches, carrying its own grain, warmth, and quiet elegance, perfect for those who value authenticity over the ordinary.
Whether gifted for a special occasion or as a personal gesture, Hozuki brings meaning and presence, something to be used, remembered, and cherished.

Ceramic may be more common, but wood offers a different kind of experience.
The Hozuki sake cups, carved from 朴 (Ho), feel naturally warm and soft in the hand, never cold, never harsh.
Unlike ceramic, they don’t clink or echo when set down, creating a quieter, more grounded atmosphere.
In Japanese tradition, material isn’t just functional, it’s expressive.
Wood speaks to nature, texture, and presence. Choosing Hozuki means choosing not just a cup, but a feeling.
