{"product_id":"nabeshima-celadon-sake-bottle","title":"Nabeshima Celadon Tokkuri – Sake Carafe","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Colour of Imari, Shared at the Table\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImari, in Saga Prefecture, is one of Japan’s historic centres of ceramic production. Within this region, Okawachiyama developed as the home of the Nabeshima domain’s kilns, making refined vessels for presentation to the shogun’s household. Its ceramic culture grew around close attention to materials, shape and the smallest details of a finished piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNabeshima Kosen Kiln continues this tradition in Okawachiyama, creating vessels for contemporary life. Its celadon is rooted in the natural mineral resources of the surrounding area. The blue-green glaze offers a way to appreciate the region through colour: a quiet surface whose depth becomes more noticeable as light moves across it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tokkuri is a Japanese sake carafe, used to serve the drink in smaller cups. Keeping the carafe at the centre of the table gives each person time to enjoy a little at a time and return to the conversation between pours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a practical serving capacity of approximately 270 ml, this carafe is easy to make part of a shared meal. The unpainted celadon surface keeps the focus on the glaze, letting its colour sit alongside the small dishes and cups around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace it with matching cups and a few dishes to share. Pouring a little at a time gives the vessel an active place in the meal: lifted, passed and returned to the table. The pleasure lies as much in these small movements and the conversation around them as in the sake itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nabeshima Kosen Kiln","offers":[{"title":"Diameter 70mm × Height 150mm \/ 211g \/ Approximately 300ml (full) 270ml (appropriate amount\/1.5 cups)","offer_id":48289637859499,"sku":null,"price":77.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8843\/7419\/files\/IMG_6298_bcbd7e34-4fe7-49a1-b356-478ee378a963.jpg?v=1794385282","url":"https:\/\/rakudajapan.com\/products\/nabeshima-celadon-sake-bottle","provider":"RAKUDA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
