・Japanese Guinomi (sake cup)
A type of cups mainly used for drinking Japanese sake.
Generally it's a larger sized sake cup than Japanese sakazuki, Japanese ochoko and others.
It's said that guinomi can hold twice as much Japanese sake as an ochoko.

Being characterized by a deep base and a wide mouth,
that's why there are many ways of use including sauce, beans, olives and
appetizer bowls, houseplant vase and others.

Actually, pouring sake from a bottle called "tokkuri" and
having the flask with one's hands, and then sipping sake from a "guinomi".

Perfect for enjoying the aroma of alcohol and temperature changes.
