Why buy Japanese coffee mugs, tea cups, sake cups and matcha tea sets?

There's no better way to enjoy Japanese sake than drinking it from an authentic sake cup – and the same applies for Japanese tea and coffee. For sake connoisseurs, we stock two sake set options: cups with carafes (ceramic jugs with no handle) and cups with bottles of quality sake. Complete your authentic Japanese tableware with delicate teacups and matcha sets in a range of soothing colours, including sky blue, indigo and celadon green.

All of our Japanese mugs and cups are made from porcelain, ensuring long-lasting durability. Many are made from Minoyaki porcelain, which is a traditional Japanese ceramic style originating from the 7th century, known for its refined appearance and excellent heat resistance. Please be aware that our range of hand-finished ceramic products can feature slight variations in size, glaze, and texture, which are part of their artisan charm.

Due to their durability, many of our Japanese cups and mugs are both dishwasher and microwave safe for your convenience. Please find specific care instructions on each product page, or get in touch for further advice.
