“Does this glass make drinks taste better?”

It’s one of the questions I hear most often.

My answer is always a little different.

The drink itself doesn’t become better.

What this glass does is stay out of the way.

It removes as much of the glass as possible from the experience, so you can enjoy the drink exactly as it was meant to be.

The moment it touches your lips, you almost forget the glass is there.

That’s the idea behind USUHARI by Shotoku Glass.

Born from the glassblowing techniques originally developed for making light bulbs, each piece is crafted to be incredibly thin and remarkably consistent.

There’s nothing flashy about it.

But sometimes, the best design is the one you hardly notice.

“USUHARI makes drinks taste better.”

People often say that. But of course, no glass can change the taste of a drink.

As Shiotoku Glass President Saito puts it, every drink is already complete. Our job is not to improve it. Our job is to stay out of its way.

USUHARI was created to remove the presence of the glass itself—to eliminate every unnecessary barrier between the drink and your lips. That is why it is less than one millimeter thick. That is why its clarity is uncompromising. That is why every shape is designed for a specific drink and reproduced by skilled craftsmen with extraordinary precision.

I have never seen another glass with so little waste. Every detail exists for one reason only: to let you experience the drink exactly as it was meant to be.

Our Niigata copper pieces for NANAROKU are made one by one in workshops like this in Tsubame-Sanjo.

The process is shaped by specialization.
Forming, polishing, and finishing are carried out by different craftsmen, and each stage requires a high level of precision.

Copper is an especially delicate material.
Even the smallest scratch or distortion becomes visible, which is why the final quality depends on careful adjustments and strict inspection throughout the process.

Within NANAROKU, copper is not simply one material among others.
Because the form is standardized, the character of the material itself becomes clearer through heat conduction, mouthfeel, and the way it ages over time.

This is the kind of craftsmanship behind each Niigata copper piece in NANAROKU.

Copperware produced in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata, is shaped through a process built on specialization.
Forming, polishing, and finishing are handled by different craftsmen, and the precision of each step accumulates into a single product.

Copper is a highly sensitive material, where even the smallest scratch or distortion becomes visible.
For that reason, adjustments at every stage and the final inspection directly determine the overall quality.

Within NANAROKU, copper is not simply another material option.
Using the same form and dimensions, it reveals clear differences in heat conduction, mouthfeel, and aging over time.

By standardizing the form, the characteristics of the material itself become more pronounced.
The nature of copper, and the level of precision required to work with it, are expressed directly in the final product.

Vintage Arita Porcelain, Reframed

This piece was originally made 40–50 years ago in Arita, as a bottle designed to hold 720ml of sake. It comes from a period when Japanese porcelain was produced in far greater volume than today—when skilled hands repeated the same processes thousands of times, building a level of precision that quietly remains in each object.

We did not create this from scratch.

Instead, we selected a form that had already completed its role, and reintroduced it into the present by adding a new layer of interpretation. The gold lines are not decoration—they are traces of intervention, applied through kintsugi. A method that does not erase time, but allows it to remain visible.

The result is not a restoration, and not entirely a new object.

It is something in between.

An object shaped by a past that cannot be reproduced, and a present that chooses how to carry it forward.

Vintage Arita Porcelain, Reimagined with Kintsugi

These bottles are unused vintage Arita porcelain pieces made about 40–50 years ago. They were originally produced as special containers designed to hold 720ml of sake, created during a time when Japanese porcelain was manufactured in far greater quantities than today.

Between the 1970s and 1990s, traditional crafts in Japan reached production levels several times higher than the present day. Artisans from that era completed an extraordinary number of works throughout their lives, and the density of experience behind their hands is something many believe cannot easily be recreated now.

Rather than producing new objects, we sometimes work with historic pieces—adding new techniques and perspectives so they can exist naturally within contemporary spaces. This bottle is one such example: a vintage object transformed into a new product shaped by our brand’s vision.

The lines you see are created through Kintsugi, the traditional Japanese technique of repairing ceramics with gold. Rather than hiding damage, Kintsugi highlights it, allowing the object’s history to become part of its beauty. Today, this philosophy of restoration and renewal is admired around the world.

Through this process, a bottle once made to hold sake becomes something different—an object that carries the craftsmanship of the past while gaining a new presence in the present.

This video shows the making process of Arita porcelain,
one of Japan’s most respected ceramic traditions.

Every step is carried out in a single artisan’s workshop.
From shaping the clay to painting and firing, everything is done by hand.

Years of experience and craftsmanship are embedded in each piece.

These are objects that cannot be created through mass production.
They are the result of human hands, patience, and tradition.

At KIRI, Haneda Airport Terminal 3,
we curate exceptional crafts from across Japan.

A special piece created with the highest level of Arita craftsmanship.

Arita is home to some of Japan’s finest ceramic techniques.
This piece represents a unique expression built upon that tradition.

The beautiful lines resemble kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with gold.
However, this is not a repair.
Each piece is intentionally created with this aesthetic from the very beginning.

This series is made by artisan Ishihara, who has spent nearly 40 years refining his skills in Arita kilns.
By combining traditional craftsmanship with exceptional precision, each piece becomes almost impossible to reproduce.

Every piece is truly one of a kind.

You can see it at KIRI, Haneda Airport Terminal 3.
