New Purchase - Not Teaware

by motokochan » Apr 20th, '08, 00:02

This isn't really related to tea, but I thought I would post a picture.

I was walking through Marshalls today looking at the miscellaneous items and found a nice saké set. Of course, I had to buy it. I don't drink, but it will make a nice display item. I also got a nice travel mug for my morning tea on my way to work.

Sorry for the low quality picture. My camera batteries are drained and all I had is my phone camera. I'll take a better picture to replace this later.

The label on the bottle is blue metallic and says "創作" and "Sousaku Japan" on it.

I used to brew sencha in one of my saki pitchers.

I have this square shaped small sake set with tiny, square shaped cups that my kids love to drink out of. We use it as their tea set.

Yeah, you know, I wouldn't mind have one of those cups for my tea.

Very nice sake set, motokochan!

I too have a weakness for sake paraphernalia. Well, the sake cups particularly (I probably have a dozen or so); but I also like sake sets. Isn't it a good thing that sake is nice to drink?

Now I am tempted to post some piccies of sake wares, too. My poor, overworked electronic camera :wink:
