These cups are handcrafted by artisans using the techniques of Akita cedar barrels, a traditional Akita craft. They are made from natural Akita cedar, one of Japan's three most beautiful forests. Their subtle cedar fragrance, warm, comfortable feel, lightness, and beautiful grain that follows the tree rings are what make them so appealing.

Its excellent heat and cold retention properties mean it won't get hot to the touch even when filled with hot drinks, making it ideal for a variety of occasions, including hot water, coffee, and tea. It also has a gentle texture. The scent of Akita cedar is said to enhance the flavor of alcohol, so it's recommended for evening drinks, such as shochu or beer. Why not enjoy a relaxing, special moment in this beautiful and functional natural cedar cup, basking in the cedar's aroma and warmth?
