In the past, when elegant people enjoyed drinking sake while viewing the moon, they would enjoy gazing at the moon reflected in the sake cup rather than looking up at the moon in the night sky. 　

We created a new sake cup based on the concept of an inverted moon reflected in a sake cup.

Its name is "Upside-down."

Various images of the months are incorporated into six designs (Yoi/Jugo/Kasa/Ariake/Misoka/Sen) and expressed using lacquer and maki-e.

Of the six cups, this product is based on the phenomenon of a lunar halo, in which a ring of light spreads around the moon.

The darkness of the night is expressed with black lacquer, and the ring of light around the moon is expressed with gold lacquer.

The gold ring design on the sides and inside makes this an interesting cup with a very striking look.

The unique cylindrical shape is impressive.

Because it is made of wood, it is light and easy to hold, and has a gentle feel on the mouth, which is one of its charms.

It also has the functionality of being easy to hold and retaining heat even when filled with hot sake, without transferring heat to your hands.

A great birthday gift for alcohol lovers, or a gift for Father's Day, Mother's Day, or Respect for the Aged Day.

The slightly larger sizes are based on the size of tea utensils preferred by Chinese people, making them a great souvenir or gift for foreigners.

This product is part of Isuke's newly launched "isuke" brand.

The "isuke" brand is based on the idea that lacquerware should be used in everyday life, and aims to simply express and let people experience the true essence of lacquerware, such as the "warmth of wood" and the "moisture of lacquer."

By combining the superior craftsmanship of lacquerware with the power of modern design, we produce products that express its charm in a simple way and give you a sense of "a little bit of happiness (peace, healing, moisture, kindness)" in your daily life.

This product was designed by Miyake Kazushige, a designer who also designs for "MUJI."
