Description
French designer Flavien Delbergue designed this vessel for sake.
Sake is made from rice, water, soil, and the four seasons. Sake is made from the rich blessings of nature. The theme of the design is "gratitude for the blessings of nature," and was inspired by the gesture of sipping clean water from a spring with both hands, and the beauty of the traditional Japanese ritual of drinking sake. When sake is made, and when glasses are made. The name "Ryote (=both hands in Japanese)" was chosen to express the idea that each is made by the "hands" of a person.
The different sized glasses are a combination that can be enjoyed together by those who drink a lot of sake and those who want to savor a little at a time.

Kimoto Glass Tokyo
https://kimotoglass.tokyo/english/
In Tokyo, you can find all kinds of wonderful glass products including Edo kiriko, the Japanese form of traditional cut glass. The city also is home to craftspersons with extraordinary skills. Kimoto Glass Tokyo, which has continued to serve as a bridge between craftspersons and customers as glass wholesaler for 80 years, considers that it is its mission to create and transmit techniques for the further advancement of glass to the public, along with producing various innovative glass products.
From black Edo kiriko, which was challenging to create until today, and sandblasted glasses to streamline-shaped glasses based on ergonomics, such innovative-looking glasses made from the traditional technique of the craftsperson are all due to the company's power as a glass producer, which brought craftspersons and designers working actively in this area together.
In addition, Kimoto Glass Tokyo calls for the importance of enjoying sake, which boasts a wide variety of flavours and tastes, by changing the shapes and sizes of its glasses depending on the taste and how you drink them, just like wine and cocktails. The company proposes a "marriage" of sake and glass to accompany the dishes together with sake brewers based in Japan. A glass with a large bowl goes very well with sake characterized by a fragrant flavour. A tall, slim glass goes well with sake with a refreshing taste. By simply changing the glass, one may have an entirely different impression of even a familiar sake. The evolution of Edo glass will make Japanese food culture even more interesting.
