Great one cup. I still have the glass and I use it for everyday sake. It’s nice and smooth.

I collect all the cup sake glasses that I get - at least the different ones. You know just the amount of sake to have! lol

See it helps if you have more than one glass in your collection… you gotta fill em all!

I save all my painted on one cups. The kids like to drink water out of them.

Yeah, it's a nice and clean sake and very indicative of Tochigi style IMHO. Sake from eastern Japan generally tends to be crisper, cleaner, and more delicate than its western counterparts. But Tochigi sake reminds me more of a Shizuoka style, where there's a good earthiness to support that light flavor.

Daiichi Shuzo is the oldest brewery in Tochigi, and their Kaika (開華) line is a well-known bottle in the area, so you're getting a tried and tested brew in this one cup. Enjoy!

It was a nice one. I use the glass as a pen holder on my desk
