sake set
Japanese drinking vessels
A sake set is a collection of vessels for serving sake, the Japanese rice wine.
A traditional set includes a tokkuri (a small pitcher or carafe for warming and pouring) and several ochoko (small cups for drinking).
Sets range from simple ceramic to ornate lacquerware: We brought out the sake set for the dinner party.
