A beer cup with a little bit of luxury and delicious head! This Kutani Nagomigama beer cup creates rich, foamy, long-lasting head, adding even more flavor not only to the head but also to the beer itself. Chill the cup before drinking for even more delicious refreshment. The secret lies in the specially-blended "Awaocho clay". Countless prototypes were created before finding just the right type that produces thick, creamy head! In addition, craftsmen skilled in traditional arts create each piece by hand on a wheel using light and malleable clay that beautifully shows off the colors and designs of Kutaniyaki. Enjoy a drink this evening with Kutani Nagomigama's AWATANA Awaocho beer cup!
[The secrets behind Awaocho clay's deliciousness] 1. Fine foam created by Awaocho clay It creates a fine, cream-like foam with a smooth texture and mild taste. By using original Awaocho clay, lots of foam is kept for a long time. 2. Delicious foam with a refreshing aftertaste As the foam traps in deliciousness, there is less unpleasant bitterness, giving you a clean crisp aftertaste. 3. With a sustained cooling effect By cooling in the freezer and then using, this will bring you the characteristic wonderful cooling effects of ceramic.
[Kutaniyaki] Kutaniyaki has been designated by the Minster of Economy, Trade, and Industry as a traditional Japanese craft. JAPAN KUTANI is an art that represents Japan! This work of art boasts five colors that show the history and tradition of the Kaga Hyakuman-koku, a fief known for producing a million "koku" (about five million bushels) of rice. Featuring a bold, original composition and rich, beautiful use of colors, this glazed pottery has breathtaking expressive qualities that represent the best of Japanese craft. This style of pottery was created approximately 360 years ago (around 1655, in the early Edo period) in the village of Kutani, located in the Daishoji domain (part of the Kaga clan) to symbolize the glory of Kaga Hyakuman-koku. This pottery boasts a focus on dazzling, luxurious decorative glazing and a unique style that colorfully illustrates the atmosphere of daily life. The appeal of Kutaniyaki can be found in its coloring, the Kutani Five Colors - red, blue (green), yellow, purple, and navy - that form its base while the shimmering, transparent appearance of the glaze brings out its depictive qualities. The combination of the strong sturdy porcelain material and the graceful, elegant use of the five colors has established a style of innovative, artistic pottery. Under the name JAPAN KUTANI, this pottery has been known as an export since the Meiji period that has grown to have wide name recognition and popularity in the West. One man in particular, named Shoza Kutani, established a line of "colored brocade" vases and other works that planted the seeds of worldwide popularity thanks to his exhibition at a World Expo. This history, tradition, and thought continues to this day in the vibrant appearance of Kutaniyaki, which is created with the feelings of craftsmen who wish to add vibrancy and warmth to the long winters of the Hokuriku region. The beauty of the glass glaze and its smooth, transparent appearance attracts pottery enthusiasts from all corners of the world.
