Craftsmanship and tradition in every cup

Every sake cup in our collection is a piece of living tradition. Handcrafted by Japanese artisans, each cup reflects centuries of expertise and a dedication to form, finish and balance. These are not merely vessels – they are invitations to pause, savour and appreciate the quiet beauty of ritual.

The material you choose changes the experience: porcelain highlights the delicate colour and aroma of the sake for chilled varieties and hand-glazed ceramics hold gentle warmth for lightly heated sake. Subtle variations in glaze, texture or shape are a hallmark of the artisan’s hand, giving each cup its own personality and turning a simple drink into a moment of discovery.

Gifts of distinction

Sake cups also make thoughtful, memorable gifts. To give one is to share beauty, culture and tradition. Paired with a bottle of premium Japanese sake, they become a complete, elegant experience – ideal for foodies, avid home entertainers, or anyone who appreciates handcrafted artistry.

At The Wasabi Company, we select every cup with the same care we bring to our own farms in Dorset and Hampshire, where many of our ingredients are carefully cultivated. Each piece speaks of authenticity, quality you can feel, and the joy of sharing moments elevated by craft and flavour. Whether for yourself or a special someone, these cups offer more than just drinking – they offer a connection to culture, heritage and the art of hospitality.

Frequently asked questions

Ceramic and porcelain sake cups each bring their own charm to the table. Ceramic cups feel earthy, rustic and cosy – perfect for enjoying warm sake on relaxed evenings. Porcelain cups are smooth, delicate and elegant, making them ideal for chilled sake or special occasions where every sip feels refined. Whether you’re gifting or treating yourself, selecting the right cup adds a touch of thoughtfulness – and a little extra joy – to every sake moment.

Yes – many of our single sake cups can be paired with matching carafes or chosen together as a curated set – perfect for gifting to a Japanese food enthusiast or for building your own collection.

Many ceramic and porcelain cups are dishwasher-safe, but we recommend gentle hand washing to preserve the glaze and finish, and to ensure they last you a lifetime.

Of course! Sake cups are traditionally collected as individual pieces, each one unique. Mixing styles adds character to your collection, and makes every drinking experience special.

For chilled sake, choose a porcelain cup for a crisp, refreshing experience. For warm sake, ceramic cups hold the heat beautifully. If you’re buying as a gift, a pair of complementary designs is always a thoughtful choice.
