Japanisches Bambus-Sake-Set - Tin Makie

This sake set is an authentic masterpiece of Kyoto bamboo craftsmanship, a tradition with over 1,100 years of history. It is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans from Nagaoka, Kyoto, a region renowned for its bamboo craft. The set embodies the spirit of Takano Chikko, a workshop dedicated to creating products that honor this heritage while suiting modern lifestyles. The production process is incredibly labor-intensive, taking over five years from sustainable forest management to the final delicate processing, ensuring each piece is a true testament to Japanese artistry and tradition.

This sake set is crafted from high-quality, locally sourced bamboo from Kyoto. The bamboo is carefully selected and undergoes an extensive process of natural drying, oil removal, and long-term storage over 5 to 10 years to become a durable and beautiful material. The set's surface features a unique tin makie finish, where delicate patterns are drawn using tin powder. This sustainable and natural material gives the set its lightweight yet durable nature, excellent insulation properties, and a unique texture that evolves with time.

This sake set is designed to enhance your sake-drinking experience. The natural bamboo provides excellent insulation, making it ideal for enjoying both hot sake (as the exterior remains cool to the touch) and cold sake (as it maintains its temperature). The set's elegant aesthetic is perfect for refined dining moments, special occasions, or simply for adding a touch of sophistication to your daily life. It also makes an exceptional and thoughtful gift, as each set is presented in its own individual box.

The "Tin Makie" sake set is a product of unparalleled quality and durability, a reflection of the artisans' masterful skill and the extensive preparation of the bamboo. The material's dense and robust nature, combined with meticulous handcrafting, results in a lightweight yet strong product. The bamboo's surface and texture are designed to age beautifully over time, embodying the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi and making it a cherished item for generations.

To care for your bamboo sake set, wash it gently by hand with a soft sponge and mild, neutral detergent. Do not use a dishwasher, microwave, or oven. After washing, wipe it dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air-dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight. Avoiding prolonged soaking in water and exposure to extreme temperature changes will help preserve the set's integrity and beauty.
