  • Premium Long-Lasting Care: To honor the natural purity of raw Japanese cedar, this product is crafted without harsh chemical coatings. While traditional wooden ware requires mindful care, you can enjoy it for years to come by following the easy hand-washing guidelines provided below.
  • Perfect Compact Size for Multipurpose Zen: Measures approx. 3.3 x 3.3 x 2 inches (84 x 84 x 52 mm) and weighs only 3.52 oz (100g). Perfect as an authentic Japanese sake cup, an accurate rice measuring scoop, a unique spice container, or an elegant desk organizer.

Important Care & Safety Guidelines
Storage & Environment: Keep out of reach of small children. To preserve the natural rich wood grain and prevent warping or color fading, store in a cool, dry, and dark place. Avoid direct sunlight, high temperatures, and high humidity.
Intended Use: Please use this product only for its intended purpose as a traditional beverage cup, kitchen vessel, or decorative container. Keep away from open flames and high heat sources.
Microwave & Dishwasher Warning: Do not use in microwaves, ovens, gas stoves, dishwashers, or dish dryers. (Hand wash only)
Natural Characteristics: As this product is crafted from 100% raw natural cedar without synthetic coatings, minor individual variations in wood grain, color tone, or texture are a natural part of its authentic charm. Please handle with care.

Traditional Usage & Maintenance Guidelines
Because this artisan piece is crafted from pure, untreated natural cedar to maximize its authentic aroma, it responds dynamically to moisture. To enjoy its beauty for a long time, please follow these traditional care steps:
Before Use: Do not soak the wood in water before use. Simply pour your beverage directly into the dry cup.
After Use (Cleaning): Right after use, gently rinse only the inside and the rim of the cup with running water. Lightly shake off excess water, then place it upside down in a well-ventilated, shaded area to air-dry completely.
Pro-Tip for Longevity: Avoid wetting the outer surface excessively. Too much moisture on the outside can cause the natural wood to expand, which may create minor gaps over time.
Enjoying Traditional Sake: To experience sake in the true, traditional Japanese style—and to completely prevent any natural weeping or minor seepage from the raw wood seams—we highly recommend placing a beautiful small ceramic saucer or tray underneath the Masu cup during your tasting session.
