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 Tokkuri that opens the flavor of sake ~ The finest Shino Shunomi made with rare Mogusa clay by Kato Takaya ~

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. Open up the flavor with a Shino Tokkuri. How about a luxurious solo drink with a Shino Tokkuri made from rare Mogusa clay? Please savor it and feel the essence of 500 years of history.
