{"product_id":"otafuku-hyottoko-sake-set","title":"Otafuku-Hyottoko Sake Cup and Carafe Set","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eCrafted in the historic heart of Kyoto, this Kyo-yaki set is the work of master potter Asami Yoshizo from the esteemed Kippogama Kiln. Embracing the quiet, unpretentious beauty of the Wabi-Sabi aesthetic, each piece is individually hand moulded and bears the artist's deeply respected, hand-engraved signature at the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe pieces beautifully feature the beloved folkloric pair, Otafuku (also known as Ofuku or Okame) alongside Hyottoko. Otafuku is a deeply cherished auspicious symbol of joy, while the accompanying brushstrokes for Hyakufuku (百福) literally translate to a promise of \"one hundred blessings\". Pieces bearing this highly sought-after motif are traditionally used to invite abundant luck into the home, making this set a deeply meaningful companion for quiet evenings, celebrations, or traditional milestones like the New Year and Setsubun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe design is as purposeful as it is beautiful. The cups are crafted from Kyoto stoneware with a classic ring foot and a gently flared mouth, an intentional silhouette designed to guide the sake smoothly across the entire palate, unlocking the full tasting profile of the brew. Finally, the set is finished with a masterfully controlled, deliberate crackle glaze. This prized technique utilises specialised low fire glazes that craze beautifully as they cool, creating an intricate, web-like texture that gives the set its rich, historic character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zenko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56946469699915,"sku":"KIP-KYO-SAS-001","price":182.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/5931\/2459\/files\/KIPKYOSAS001-11.jpg?v=1775646656","url":"https:\/\/zenkoji.co.uk\/products\/otafuku-hyottoko-sake-set","provider":"Zenko","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
