Characteristics of Kokihi

Kokihi allows you to enjoy the aroma and aftertaste in a generously sized bowl.It is recommended to enjoy mature and aged wines, such as those from Bordeaux, based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot."Kokihi refers to a deep crimson color that is almost black. For example, it is like the mulberry fruit, which is red at first, then turns black." This quote is from "Rekishi Fukushoku Kou" (Historical Costumes) from the Meiji era. Kokihi is a dark reddish-purple color, dyed with madder and purple.It doesn't have the crimson color indicated by its name;it is a color with strong black undertones.It was used as a color of high status,making it a very important and noble hue. Please link it with your beverages.


point1: Enjoy with all five senses 

Because it's Yamanaka lacquerware, because it's Takumi-do Shikkou, and because it's wood.
A bowl so thin that you can feel light from within,the tone woven from a single piece of wood.
The moisture regulation of the wood's xylem and phloem, and the technique of turning it.
This is the culmination of technology and exploration, realized by deeply understanding this natural material.
The beauty of the wood grain and colors, the warmth felt when touched, the faint scent of nature.
Please enjoy it using all five senses.
