● About the WAMODERN Series
The "WAMODERN" series evokes a warmth reminiscent of wood. The patterns meticulously hand-drawn by artisans are unique, like the growth rings of a tree, with no two being exactly alike. Through the nuanced colors of lacquer and delicate lacquering techniques, it reproduces the texture of aged wood that has weathered the years in nature.
● Enhancing the Qualities of Lacquer and Metal
The cup body is made of 18-8 stainless steel, formed and polished in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture. The upper interior is mirror-finished, while the lower part features spiral polishing lines, creating a vigorous and creamy foam the moment beer is poured. Its double-wall construction prevents condensation and provides excellent heat retention. While utilizing the functionality of stainless steel, the exterior is finished with lacquer, adding a moist texture and a soft mouthfeel.
● Includes a Coaster of Traditional Echizen Washi Paper from Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture

● Production Area Introduction... Yamanaka Lacquerware, Kaga City (formerly Yamanaka Town), Ishikawa Prefecture
The history of Yamanaka lacquerware, designated as a national traditional craft, dates back over 400 years to the Azuchi-Momoyama period. Lacquerware is typically completed by a woodturner who turns the wood, a lacquerer who applies the lacquer, and a maki-e artist who decorates it. Yamanaka lacquerware boasts leading domestic technology and production volume in woodturning, but also excels in lacquering and maki-e techniques.
