Shuki | Japanese Sake glasses/cups (For Nihonshu)

What’s Japanese Shuki?

Have you ever heard about ”Shuki”？
“Shuki” are items to drink Sake.

In Japan, there are various types of Shuki.

This time I’d like to talk about Shuki for Japanese sake.
Let’s look at some Shuki.

Tokkuri（とっくり）

Tokkuri is a bottle to pour sake.
Most Tokkuri has a slim neck.

Sakazuki（さかずき）

Sakazuki is a shallow cup to drink Sake.

Sakazuki is used for Japanese-style weddings, too.

Ochoko（おちょこ）

Ochoko is a very small cup to drink Sake.
It’s tiny and your ochoko would be empty with one or two sips!

Guinomi (ぐいのみ)

Guinomi is also a cup to drink Sake.
It is a small cup, but bigger than ochoko.

Various Japanese Shuki at home

Now I’m showing some Shuki I found at home.

These are Tokkuri and Guinomi.

These are for “Reishu” (Cold sake).
They are made of glass.

I love the shape and the texture!

Ochoko.
I used to use this to drink medicine when I was a kid!

This is another Ochoko.
But I used it to drink medicine when I was a kid as well.
