 No sake drinking experience could possibly compare with the delectable delight that comes from pouring sake from a hinoki cypress decanter and then drinking it from a hinoki cypress cup. In addition to the remarkably smooth feel of the wood, the indescribably luscious fragrance of this precious wood over 300 years old adds a new dimension while the wood itself makes the sake milder than ever. Both the lidded decanter and its matching wooden cup (masu) are handcrafted using the finest-quality domestic hinoki cypress. They are ingeniously constructed using interlocking pieces so tightly fitting that they remain water-tight. No nails or glue are used whatsoever. You may find imitations on the market. But the supreme-quality handcrafted decanter and cup offered by Japan Unique Gifts are completely authentic -- proud products of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. HAND MADE IN JAPAN
