Description
SENS is a new type of sake drinking vessel designed by French designer unit AC/AL.
Inspired by French water towers, this vessel has the beauty and sophistication of architecture and the appearance of art. Freed from the attributes and concepts of a sake vessel as a “tool,” it dares to shave off the functional spout and other features, focusing instead on pure beauty.Challenging the Japanese glassware market's conventional wisdom of “thin and light,” the bottom of the glass has an extreme thickness and weight.
The French word “sens” means “something meaningful.The weight of the glass, which is daringly felt, vividly conveys the presence of the sake cup in the hand. By emphasizing the sensory experience of drinking sake, it provides a deep sense of satisfaction in drinking sake.

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.
