Reversed Mt. Fuji Sakazuki Flat Sake Cup
Mt. Fuji, the pride of Japan, is the motif of this unique sakazuki flat sake cup.
Enjoy the reflection of Mt. Fuji on the sake’s glimmering surface. When held at eye level, a reversed silver Mt. Fuji appears, capturing an artful silhouette that can be admired up close or from afar. On clear days, a rare sight known as sakasa Fuji—the inverted reflection of Mt. Fuji—appears on lakes and rice paddies near its base, symbolizing good fortune. This breathtaking phenomenon is beautifully recreated on the surface of sake in this elegantly designed cup.
This handcrafted tin sake cup, with a robust metallic shine, softens the sake’s flavor while offering a comfortable weight and feel. Its footed design adds height to Mt. Fuji’s peak, and each piece is made by pouring hot metal into a sand mold—a traditional casting technique carried down in Takaoka City, the heartland of metalwork, for over 400 years.
