This soba choko cup features a traditional Japanese chidori pattern. Kutani ware uses a brush for painting with Japanese coloring paint, as you can see, the painted part is slightly thickened. 

The smooth porcelain provides a rich yet delicate texture of sake to the mouth. It is a perfect sake cup for celebratory occasions such as New Year’s Day, birthdays or wedding anniversaries. 

Originally designed as a sake cup, it is also a great item for serving small portions of food, desserts, yogurt, fruits such as berries. You may also put a small portion of food or relishes inside, place it on a larger plate or in a bento box for a more stylish and sophisticated food presentation.
