Seikou Porcelain Red Floral Sake Jug and Cup

Description

Use the Seikou red porcelain sake jug and cup to serve hot or cold sake with a Japanese meal. Made in Japan, the set includes a traditional flask (known as a ‘tokkuri’) and a small cup (known as ‘ochoko’) that doubles as a lid for easy storage. The colourful floral flask will add instant Japanese elegance to your table.

The cup has a wide rim so you can enjoy the full aroma of the sake as you drink it. Sake can be served at room temperature, chilled or heated up to 40°C - when it’s known as atsukan. It is a wonderful accompaniment to Japanese dishes like sushi and sashimi or crispy prawn tempura.

This sake set is a great gift for sake enthusiasts, especially when paired with a bottle from our range of Japanese sake.

About Seikou Porcelain

Japanese artisans, Seikou, started producing signature hand-painted porcelain nearly a hundred years ago. The family-owned business is loved in Japan for its ko-kutani style.

Kutani-yaki, or kutani-ware, is a technique that uses thick overglaze, bold colours and hand-painted detail. Kutani-ware pieces are often decorated with flowers, animals and geometric motifs. 

Seikou porcelain uses traditional techniques to create colourful, contemporary crockery that is both beautiful and practical. As well as intricate floral patterns, you'll find playful motifs such as dancing pandas, and charming bluebirds.

Use your Seikou tableware to create a richly patterned tablescape, with bold bright colours. Mix and match your favourite motifs, or choose a set with the same pattern.
