Description
Designed by the French designer team SCMP DESIGN OFFICE out of respect for sake.
We wanted to create a glass that allows you to hold both hands on it and enjoy sake in a beautiful manner similar to the tea ceremony.
With this idea in mind, the bottom of the glass is weighted to create a balance that makes you want to support it with both hands. The glass's mouth is wide open to allow the sake to flow into the mouth without the need for an exaggerated tilt of the chin, creating a silhouette that allows for a natural and beautiful drinking gesture.
All of this is made with the highest quality techniques by glass craftsmen in Tokyo.
OPTICA" means "optics" and is derived from the optical lens of a camera, which was the inspiration for the design.
It also expresses our hope that the reflection of light created by the transparent glass and sake will allow people to experience the delicate beauty of glass and the sparkle of sake.
[OPTICA large x 1] diameter 85 x height 140 (mm) / capacity 290ml

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.
