The Kikichoko is a traditional tasting cup for sake. The two blue rings at the bottom of the cup are particularly striking - they have not only a decorative but also a functional purpose: the blue circles help to better assess the clarity and color of the sake. The contrast between blue and white makes it easier to detect turbidity, discoloration or suspended particles in the drink - an important criterion for professional tastings.
This type of cup is often used in sake breweries when sake is offered for tasting. It is also called a Janome Ochoko, which literally means “snake eye cup” - a reference to the eye-like pattern on the bottom.
Ideal for anyone who wants to delve deeper into the world of sake - whether as a connoisseur, collector or simply out of curiosity.
