Small Wooden Masu Sake Cup - Japanese Hinoki Wood Cypress Saki Cup Box Made in Japan, 2 Ounce

The masu, a square wooden box originally used to measure rice in Japan, has evolved in its purpose over time. Today, these masu are predominantly employed as vessels for drinking sake. Authentic Japanese Masu, in a small size, serve as Wooden Sake Cups, each holding a capacity of 2 ounces.

Our Wooden Masu, crafted from the esteemed hinoki wood, or Japanese Cypress, are meticulously designed to ensure they are leak-proof. These cups measure 2-7/16 inches square and stand at a height of 1-13/16 inches, with the inner dimensions measuring 1-13/16 inches square and a depth of 1-1/2 inches, specifically accommodating a 2-ounce pour of sake.

Wooden sake boxes are a versatile and practical choice, particularly when serving chilled sake. These boxes are often accompanied by a saucer to catch any drippings, creating a refined and traditional serving experience. Alternatively, sake can be served in a glass cup placed inside the wooden masu, allowing the liquid to overflow into the masu box, a classic presentation that enhances the enjoyment of this revered Japanese beverage.

When caring for these wooden sake cups, it is recommended to wash them only with running water, without the use of dish soap. Additionally, it is advised to avoid using hot water or a dishwasher, as these methods can potentially compromise the integrity and longevity of the masu.

Proudly made in Japan, these Wooden Masu are crafted with the utmost attention to detail, ensuring the highest quality and authenticity. They serve as an essential component in completing the traditional Japanese sake set, adding both functionality and aesthetic appeal to the drinking experience.
