This sake set includes a sake pitcher and two sake cups, made from the most beautifully grained cedar wood. When sake is poured into these vessels, the cedar aroma mellows and enhances the flavor of the sake. According to Mr. Kurimori, this sake set "elevates first-class sake to a special grade," allowing you to enjoy the cedar-scented sake when warmed. It is an ideal gift for sake enthusiasts.
