Premium Titanium Sake Vessel
The sculptural beauty, almost ore-like,
as if it has been just hewn from the earth,
created through the extravagant carving out of a block of pure titanium.
Unaffected by heat or moisture, corrosion-resistant titanium allows
the true, delicate taste of sake to reach your lips.
Perfect as a special gift for someone in your life
who understands the difference.
Or perhaps to add to your own collection.
Premium Titanium Sake Vessel 1st model
Where it all began. The naturalistic textures and form, so very unlike the image of titanium. Yet take it in your hand, and feel that powerful, solid presence that only titanium offers. This is the flagship model, a symbol of the hikiZAN brand.

People whose views of work agree,
also agree on food and fun.
At times, it is nice to relax and
day-drink as just men.
A titanium hikiZAN sake cup,
paired with a bottle of your favorite local sake,
makes the perfect gift for a valued friend.
The breath-taking sparkle created by
the oxide film on the titanium reminds us of the
miracle that every fleeting,
once-in-a-lifetime, experience is.
The rough shapes, like mined ore,
seem to fit naturally in hands
that have weathered the years with
grit and perseverance.
Sake poured into these cups takes on a quiet, dark grey hue.
Almost as if it is a universe unto itself.
The unique experience of being able to enjoy
that jolt you get from the first sip not once, but every time.
Heady with the infinitely clear
taste of the sake,
with conversation,
time seems to pass in an instant.
Let’s drink again together
some time soon, you say.
And of course,
that will be from hikiZAN cups.
