Seigado Tales of a Century Silver Chirori Tin Sake Carafe
After melting tin into a sheet form, it is hammered into shape using the hammering technique called “Tsuiki”, making the piece seamless.
It is suitable for heating sake by dipping it in a pot filled with hot water. The good thermal conductivity of the metal allows it to warm up quickly, and it also makes cold sake look cool and refreshing. Please be careful when holding the handle after warming it up.
Also, tin was prized as a material suitable for storing water and other things because of its ability to purify what is put inside it. It is also suitable for enjoying the taste of alcohol itself since it does not retain any odor.
Delivered in a wooden box which makes it a perfect gift for your loved ones.
Seigado has a workshop at the foot of Mt. Yahiko in Niigata Prefecture, where high quality copper was discovered about 300 years ago and “Tsuiki”, the technique of hammering copperware has developed since then.
“Tsuiki” is a metalworking technique that is derived from the words ‘hammer’ and ‘raise’, so this process literally means hammering and embossing copperware products. The traces of the hammering, the process of making are left as beautiful patterns on the products.
