Authentic Pewter Sake Cup Experience with a Kyoto Artisan

Pewter has a history in Japan that stretches back to the 8th century. In its early days, it was treasured by nobles and used for sacred objects, but from the 17th to 19th centuries it spread among the common people and became a favorite material for sake and tea ware. Even today, many sake lovers say, “Sake simply tastes better in a pewter cup.”

By joining this workshop, you’ll not only learn about this centuries-old tradition but also create your very own pewter sake cup—a piece of history crafted with your own hands.
