Toyo Sasaki Takasegawa Sake Glasses & Masu Cups - 4-Piece

Toyo Sasaki Takasegawa Sake Glasses & Masu Cups - 4-Piece

This sake serving set pairs the clear Takasegawa glasses from Toyo Sasaki with traditional hinoki wood masu cups from Umezawa. Together they are made for serving sake in the celebratory 'mokkiri' (overflowing) style, where the glass is filled until sake spills over into the masu beneath — a gesture of generous hospitality.

How to Enjoy Overflowing Sake (Mokkiri)

1. Place the glass inside the wooden masu cup.
2. Pour sake into the glass until it overflows and begins to fill the masu.
3. Drink the sake from the glass first.
4. Lift the masu to drink the remainder, savouring the aroma the hinoki wood lends the sake.
