sake cup

Small ceramic tumbler

A sake cup is a small drinking vessel designed for sake, the Japanese rice wine.

Traditional sake cups come in various styles—the flat, saucer-like sakazuki used in ceremonies, the cylindrical ochoko for casual drinking, and the wooden masu originally used for measuring rice.
