Artisan Mizunara Oak Whiskey Cup Pair

This stunning set of Artisan Mizunara Oak Whiskey Cup Pair is lathe-spun from mizunara oak, a Japanese oak tree found in the most northern of Japan's prefectures. Sipping whiskey from these oak cups enhances the natural smokey-wood flavors of the spirits, while the wood’s natural insulating value preserves rock ice cold for longer periods. Each cup is beveled to a slightly hourglass shape, allowing it to rest perfectly in your hand. The hand-made oak cups also taper gently upward, thinning to the ideal thickness at the top.

Since natural wood is used, individual differences appear in the grain, knots, and color. Together, these cups display the unique patterns and characteristics of mizunara oak, giving each piece its own subtle individuality. Their overall thickness provides a satisfying, weighty feel that enhances your drinking experience.

Perfect for sharing moments with someone special, this pair of whiskey cups brings warmth and elegance to your whiskey rituals. Whether enjoyed during quiet evenings together or given as a thoughtful gift, these cups are a timeless expression of craftsmanship and care.

Crafted in workshops renowned for producing traditional paulownia chests designed to protect high-end kimonos from moisture and insects, these cups showcase exceptional woodworking skills. Each cup is meticulously lathe-carved from a solid piece of mizunara oak wood. Whisky enthusiasts will appreciate their insulating value and sheer esthetic beauty, making this pair a versatile addition to any collection.
