Translations from Tokoname catalog

In the case of buying from them, I would ask anyway. You want to make 100% certain you know what you are getting. IMHO.

Whoa, deja vu all over again!

YAY! thanks!

Could someone please tell me what it says above pot number 546?

mbishop,

人気商品 (ninkishouhin) means "popular product" and as someone else posted さやわか (sayawaka) means refreshing......

Best,

I think that Sawayaka refers to a type of filter which is used in this kyusu.

The Sawayaka type is fixed on a smooth gentle incline.
These filters are often detachable, so that they can be replaced over time.

Suited to: Standard green teas

tjsan - thanks. That solves it. I knew there must be a technical definition. If you look at the catalog various teapots are labelled "sawayaka". Thanks!
