[Wajima Kirimoto's Mug is back in stock]

This mug with a lovely rounded shape was designed by Mr. Makoto Koizumi. The matte, subdued texture results from Wajima Kirimoto's unique "makiji technique."

After the natural wood has been cloth-finished and primed, Wajima jinoko is used again near the surface and finished with a layer of lacquer. This increases surface hardness, making it resistant to abrasion and scratches even when metal spoons are used. You can also enjoy the product's beauty as it ages, as it gradually becomes shiny and richly expressive with use.

The wide-mouthed mug is recommended not only for beverages but also as a vessel for soup and desserts. Versatile for a hearty cafe au lait, soup with lots of ingredients, etc. The firm handle is the key to ease of use.
