Sake Vessel Series: Edo Kiriko
Episode 140. Week in and week out, our standard gear for tasting and evaluating sake is a simple wine glass. This works really well and almost everybody has one nearby. But in Japan, there are a wide variety of shapes, materials and sizes used to make cups for drinking sake. That got us wondering if we should take some other cups out for a test drive and compare them to our usual stemware. This week we are exploring Edo-Kiriko. This luxurious and historic hand-cut crystal glassware is most well known for its royal blue and ruby red shades. It's renowned for its elegance and sparkle and is often seen at high-end sake bars and restaurants. How does this glassware stack up against our standard wine glass? Tune in this week to find out! #sakerevolution
