Sake Masu cups added

Hello and Welcome to www.nipponcraft.com,

We added unique cups called Masu in the shopping page
A "Masu" is a square wooden cup for drinking sake at happy celebrations such as a wedding and a company establishment. A "Masu" was originally a box for measuring rice or bean volume, but people started to use it as a drinking cup from the late 1950's.
These cups are made of cypress grown in Kiso area (in Nagano prefecture).  Kiso cypress has a natural sterilizing power and the wood smells very nice.
These cups hold 180 mL for large, 144 ml for middle, and 90 mL for small. We ironed a branding picture on one surface of each Masu.

We are able to accept your order from a set of 10 for each size, and we will send you a list of pictures that we can iron on Masu.  Masu are generally custom order products, because we need to craft them from fresh woods to deliver refreshing cypress smell.

Experience sake with nice wood smell in relaxing mood!
