Japanese Sake Sets
Shop Japanese sake sets in Australia, from everyday Mino ware pottery to hand-painted Kutani porcelain and glass sets made for cold sake. Every set pairs a tokkuri, the small flask sake is poured from, with two or more ochoko cups, and the reason it comes as a set is the etiquette behind it: at a Japanese table you pour for the person beside you and they pour for you, so the flask is passed around rather than kept to one place. The material shapes how you serve. Thick Mino ware pottery holds heat and suits warm sake through the cooler months, hand-painted Kutani porcelain gives you a finer wall and a decorative surface that earns a place on the shelf between pours, and glass is made for chilled junmai and ginjo in summer. If you are buying your first set, a pottery tokkuri with two cups covers both warm and cold service and is the most forgiving place to start. Sets arrive gift boxed with free gift wrapping, which makes them a straightforward choice for a wedding, a housewarming, Father's Day or anyone who has started taking sake seriously. Prices start from $18 and shipping is free on Australian orders over $100. If you are building a wider table, the same makers appear across our Japanese mugs, teapots and small plates.
