Nousaku Chirori

Nousaku’s Tin is 100% purity. In Japan, it is said that tin removes bitterness of Japanese sake and makes it more mellow and rich. Enjoy your sake experience with our tin drinkware.

Known as the most expensive metal after gold and silver, tin is very malleable and flexible. Though having nearly the whiteness of silver, it does not rust easily nor will air tarnish it readily. It is significantly antibacterial, and also known as a material with high heat conductivity. It has been believed that water in a tin container does not spoil, and tin removes excessive bitterness from sake and produces better taste. Because it is known to absorb impurities and purify water, tin wares allow you to enjoy liquor, meals, sweets, or flowers. Tin ware cooled in a refrigerator for 2-3 minutes will keep sake fresh and cold.

Accumulated experience of skilled craftsmen enables them to produce these unique pieces.
