sake cups
Small ceramic vessels
Sake cups are small vessels for drinking sake, the Japanese rice wine.
Traditional varieties include the ceramic ochoko and the shallow saucer-like sakazuki used in ceremonies.
Wooden masu cups, originally rice measures, are also common.
The cups' small size encourages frequent pouring, which reinforces the Japanese custom of filling others' cups rather than your own.
