This is a beautiful set. I like the texture of the glaze and the color. It feels sturdy. A few things to know:
1- not a Japanese sake set. The seller location is California but ships from China
2- The cups are more like shot glasses for spirits or liquor.This is a little annoying when you are using them to drink sake wine. Wish the cups were bigger.
3- The gold characters on the side are Chinese- I thought it might be the name of the company. The seller said it is WeiXun and means “slightly drunk like you had a bit of alcohol and get a good feeling.”………. Hm.
4- the price is high- for $180 USD you could find a nice, more traditional Japanese set if that's what you are looking for.
If you don't mind a Chinese take on a sake set, and the shot glass styled cups- this is a nice set.
