"A Cup to Enjoy the Mouthfeel and Aroma"
"Yorokoppu" was born from an exchange with a buyer from the liquor section of a department store.We were consulting about wanting customers to enjoy the moist, clinging mouthfeel of lacquerware and the aroma of their drinks, and we arrived at this shape.It is a shape without the stem of a wine glass.However, unlike glass or porcelain, which can be made by molding or blowing, this strongly rounded shape is very difficult to turn on a lathe, and the base is extremely challenging to create using the Hon-kenji technique. Furthermore, this shape demanded extreme precision from the artisans who performed the sharpening and final coating. It is a shape that embodies the ultimate skill of each artisan involved in every process.
The pleasant mouthfeel, the plump texture unique to lacquer, and the deep expression are achieved through the "Hon-kenji technique." Natural wood is reinforced with cloth, a base is applied using "Wajima Ji-no-ko" (Wajima base powder), and the cup is carefully finished with multiple layers of intermediate and final coatings.As you use it, the white lacquer on the inside will gradually lighten, and the luster will increase with use, allowing you to enjoy its transformation over time.
Not just for alcoholic beverages, but also for coffee, tea, Japanese tea, water, juice...When you use it every day, both "people" rejoice, and when you use and wash the "lacquerware," it also rejoices. Hence, it is named "Yorokoppu."
