2-piece Budoshuki Tumbler Set

We introduce you our Budoshuki tumbler set.
In Japanese BUDO describes the color of grapes.
Thus, the Budoski is a glass for wine.Yet it is not a wineglass!
Take a closer look. One of the basic parts of a wineglass,
the stem is missing. This is a glass for a more casual
wine-drinking experience, as envisioned by our designers.
A wine-glass without a stem can look good too.
This may be something you haven't yet experienced-certainly
not with such thin glass.The Budoshuki has acquired a
very good reputation since going on sale in japan.

Siwa Old 2-Piece Set

The name of the item is Shiwa, a crease. It seems like a
simple thing-twisting the glass slightly during the crafting
process in order to create a crease. In fact, it is a difficult
procedure and must be done while the glass is at just the right
temperature-too hot and the glass collapses limply; too
cold and it becomes impossible to manipulate.

e-glass

In 2005, the "e-glass" series was introduced. These
glasses are made

Crafts Challenge Awards(Japan).
