Description
'Rice polishing' is an essential part of making sake, in which the 'sake rice' is polished down by a certain percentage. Depending on the polishing ratio, the shape of the rice grain differs. This stylish slim glass is inspired by a grain of sake rice polished down with a 70% ratio. The name of the glass "Mai" means 'rice' in Japanese.
■ A word from the store manager

Kimoto Glass Tokyo
https://kimotoglass.tokyo/english
Tokyo is home to Edo Kiriko, a beautiful form of traditional glass cutting, dating back to the Edo period. The city is also home to various craftspersons with extraordinary skills passed down the generations. Kimoto Glass Tokyo, which has continued to serve as a bridge between craftspersons and customers as a glass wholesaler for 80 years, considers it their mission to create and show the public techniques for the further advancement of glass, along with producing various innovative glass products.
From black Edo Kiriko, which was challenging to create until recent, and sandblasted glassware to streamline-shaped glassware based on ergonomics, such innovative-looking glassware made from the traditional technique of the craftsperson are all due to the company's power as a glass manufacturer, which brought craftspersons and designers working actively in this area together.
It is the desire of Kimoto Glass Tokyo for people to discover the joy of enjoying sake to its fullest potential by combining it with the perfect glass. Just like wines and cocktails, sake can be enjoyed in a variety of drinking vessels depending on the type and sharpness of its taste.
The company proposes a "marriage" of sake and glass to complement their dishes. A glass with a large bowl goes very well with a sweet and fragrant sake, whereas a tall, slim glass would go well with sake with a refreshing and sharp taste. By simply changing the glass, one may have an entirely different impression of even a familiar sake. The evolution of Edo glass will no doubt make Japanese food culture even more delightful.
