{"title":"SAKAZUKI -Japanese Sake Cup","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA sakazuki is not only a sake cup—it is a vessel that refines the moment your lips meet the rim. The thinness of the edge, the gentle flare, the shimmer of glaze, the warmth of clay: subtle differences reshape aroma, mouthfeel, and lingering finish. Small, yet transformative. At wanova, we curate sakazuki that feel dignified for celebratory occasions and quietly intimate for everyday pours. Pair one with a tokkuri or katakuchi, and your sake becomes a composed ritual—an atmosphere you can hold in your hand.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"hakuji-carved-water-sakazuki-japanese-ripple-sake-cup-kaoru","title":"Hakujī Carved Water SAKAZUKI-Japanese Ripple Sake Cup “Kaoru”","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"581\" data-end=\"679\"\u003eThis \u003cstrong data-start=\"586\" data-end=\"620\"\u003ehakujī carved sake cup “Kaoru”\u003c\/strong\u003e is a porcelain work by Japanese artist \u003cstrong data-start=\"660\" data-end=\"678\"\u003eShigeyuki Niwa\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"681\" data-end=\"843\"\u003eIts smooth white surface is gently carved with water-ripple patterns, creating subtle shadows that shift with the light and evoke a quiet, contemplative presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"845\" data-end=\"968\"\u003eThe softly undulating rim, reminiscent of petals, fits naturally in the hand, offering both lightness and tactile richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"970\" data-end=\"1102\"\u003eDesigned as a sake cup, it can also function as a small vessel or a sculptural object that introduces space and calm into a setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1104\" data-end=\"1196\"\u003eA piece that embodies stillness, touch, and refined Japanese sensibility in white porcelain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shigeyuki Niwa \/ 丹羽シゲユキ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48180861894876,"sku":null,"price":21000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3623\/3436\/files\/shigeyuki-niwa-hakuji-carved-sake-cup-kaoru-angle1.jpg?v=1773811392"},{"product_id":"takara-zukushi-sakazuki-japanese-sake-cup","title":"Takara-zukushi SAKAZUKI -Japanese Sake Cup","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"523\" data-end=\"681\"\u003eTakara-zukushi Sakazuki by Kasumi Ueba is a ceremonial sake cup that embodies both festive elegance and the symbolic richness of Japanese auspicious motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"683\" data-end=\"1011\"\u003eThe interior is finished in luminous gold, casting a gentle glow that emerges as the cup is tilted.
