TEKAGE (手影) -Guinomi (Sake Cup)
Your touch leaves its mark on perfect mirror.
A one-of-a-kind sake cup that grows with use.
Your Touch Becomes Art.
【What You Will Experience】
A guinomi polished to perfect mirror-like brilliance.
Yet this design only completes itself through your continued use.
Where your fingers touch, your "hand traces" are inscribed as gentle shadows, evolving into a landscape that belongs only to you. Daily sake moments become time spent nurturing a unique work of art.
【Your Hands Complete the Design】
The entire surface is polished to a perfect mirror finish, with areas designed ergonomically where fingers naturally rest.
Through repeated holding, skin oils and subtle friction gently cloud only those sections, establishing themselves as the owner's unique "hand traces."
On a perfect mirror, the "shadow" of your personal history falls.
Growing attachment with each use creates a sense of unity, as if the cup becomes part of you.
【Sampenhai: Changes in Flavor】
This guinomi, with its asymmetric shape, is called a "Sampenhai."
The Sampenhai's most distinctive feature is its unique shape, which has three different drinking edges.
Due to the varying angles, thicknesses, and curves of the rim, the aroma and flavor change depending on the drinking position, even with the same sake.
It allows you to enjoy a single sake as if you were tasting it.
Despite its asymmetry, the shape naturally fits in your hand, a testament to the delicate sensibility and skill of the craftsman.
The sides change expression depending on the light, and each of the three drinking edges creates a new flavor with every shift, resulting in a rich experience that unites sight, touch, and taste.
【Why Pure Silver?】
・Thermal conductivity: 420 W/(m·K) — Transmits the delicate temperature of cold sake to your fingertips.
A new experience of tasting sake while feeling its temperature changes.
・Engage all senses
The mirror finish vividly reflects sake's color, delighting the eyes as well.
・Pure flavor
Pure silver never compromises the beverage's flavor and offers excellent antibacterial properties for hygiene. Brings out sake's authentic taste without off-notes.
・A material that embraces change
Silver's soft nature accepts subtle daily changes, inscribing the owner's history.
【Tokyo Silverware: A New Challenge】
A craftsman carrying on the tradition of Tokyo Silverware dating back to the Edo period responded to voices from around the world that "value personal narratives and tools to be cherished for generations,"
pursuing a "growing guinomi" that fuses silver's properties with the concept of time.
Combining traditional polishing techniques with contemporary ergonomic design, TEKAGE was born.
The imperfection of the user's own traces emerging on a perfect mirror surface.
The patina that changes over time expresses transient beauty.
The cool, smooth touch of silver and the affection that grows daily
bring serene, enriching moments.
The Gift of Growing Together
TEKAGE is not merely a guinomi.
Daily sake moments become time spent nurturing your personal work of art.
Personal beauty that deepens with use.
