A high quality sake deserves a high quality vessel to complement and showcase its flavor. You wouldn’t drink a fine single-malt whiskey from a Dixie cup, would you? (Well, maybe you would…) We think the Hard Strong Diamond Cut Sake Flute is the sexiest sake ware around. Yet another gorgeous product by Toyo-Sasaki, the top glass manufacturer […]
