How to Enjoy Sake
Cold Sake
Pour sake from the bottle into a tokkuri and then into the sake cup. The aroma of sake and the unique texture of Shino ware complement each other very well, making it enjoyable even without any snacks.
Hot Sake
1. Pour sake into the tokkuri (about 90% full).
2. Cover the opening of the tokkuri with plastic wrap to prevent the good aroma of the sake from escaping.
3. Adjust the amount of water so that it reaches halfway up the tokkuri.
4. Remove the tokkuri, heat a pot, and bring the water to a boil.
5. Place the tokkuri in the pot after turning off the heat for 2-3 minutes.
6. When the sake reaches the mouth of the tokkuri, it is ready. Lift the tokkuri.
Heating the sake sharpens the aroma and intensifies the flavor. The sharp aroma of hot sake and the unique texture of Shino ware complement each other very well, making it easy to drink more than intended.

Shino
The moment of change
Shino is an elusive vessel that was created for only a brief period in the tea world over 500 years ago. It was fired in large kilns and anagama kilns from the late 16th century to the early 17th century. The charm of Shino lies in its characteristic appearance of a snow-white surface, created by using feldspar, with a subtle, warm fire color visible within it. Bringing out this beautiful color is extremely difficult due to the need for strong reduction firing, where the kiln temperature does not easily rise, necessitating constant temperature adjustments day and night. The kiln firing lasts for more than seven days, conducted under extremely harsh conditions, requiring careful attention. The outcome varies significantly with the seasons and climate, demanding a level of delicacy that allows for no moment of inattention. The color of Shino leaves an impression like "the soil seen after the snow melts" or "a beautiful sunset formed by clouds and the setting sun." Capturing and expressing the fleeting natural beauty without any preconceived ideas or intentions, Shino continues to captivate people's hearts, both now and in the past.
Shino Shunomi / Guinomi ~ Traveling back 500 years ~
Sake enjoyed in Shino ware is exceptional. Decanting, often recommended for wine, is also suggested for sake. By exposing sake to air, the flavor "opens up," achieving better balance and enhanced sweetness. The raw material of Shino, the rare Mogusa clay, is known for its coarse particles, giving the impression that the vessel "breathes." This coarseness increases contact with air, enhancing the aroma and mellowing the flavor of the sake, which is why it is said that sake enjoyed in Shino ware is exceptional. Please savor it with a Shino guinomi and feel the essence of 500 years of history.
