柳宗理 清酒グラス / Sori Yanagi Sake cup

日本酒造組合中央会の依頼により、柳宗理が約2年の歳月をかけて手がけた酒器。誰が見ても日本酒のための器だとわかる「酒器らしさ」を大切に、和の佇まい、シンプルさ、新しさ、そして使いやすさを追求して生まれました。

逆さにしたベルのような遊び心と品のあるフォルムに、手の熱が伝わりにくい細く安定した台座、香りと味わいを存分に楽しめる丸みのある口縁を備え、日本酒やスピリッツの魅力を最大限に引き出します。日常の中で自然と手に取られ、長く親しまれることを願ってデザインされた清酒グラスです。

These iconic sake glasses were designed by renowned industrial designer Sori Yanagi for the Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association. These elegant glasses have a rounded rim that allows for maximum taste. 
The glass has an overturned bell shape that is playful yet sophisticated just like many of Yanagi's designs. The solid narrow base is designed to prevent the heat from hands from reaching the drink and the wide rounded rim is intended for the drinker to experience the full flavour of the sake/spirit.

"When designing a sake glass at the request of the Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association, I paid the most attention to expressing the image of a sake glass. Especially in the case of a sake glass, unlike a wine glass, anyone must see that this is a glass for sake. After about two years of hard work, this sake glass was completed under various requirements such as Japanese style, simplicity, freshness, and of course ease of use. It would be best if it becomes familiar to many people and is widely used as soon as possible." - Sori Yanagi
