● About the Wamodan Series
The Wamodan series evokes the warmth of wood, resembling wooden textures. The patterns painted by artisans are done by hand, each unique like tree rings. The color of the lacquer and meticulous painting techniques recreate the appearance of aged, natural wood.
● Enhancing the qualities of lacquer and metal
The main body of the cup is made of 18-8 stainless steel, shaped and polished in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture. The interior upper part has a mirror finish, while the lower part features spiral polishing marks, which produce a lively, creamy foam immediately when beer is poured. Its double structure prevents water droplets from forming and provides excellent insulation. While utilizing the functionality of stainless steel, the exterior is finished with lacquer, adding a moist texture and a soft mouthfeel.
