Yamada Nishiki sake cups
The Akitsu district of Kato City, where Tojo Akitsu Kiln is located, is known as an area where the finest Yamada Nishiki rice, the king of sake rice, can be harvested. When making pottery, the focus is on the soil. After much trial and error, the clay was mixed with soil from the rice fields where Yamada Nishiki is grown, and ash from burnt Yamada Nishiki straw was mixed into the glaze to create the perfect sake cup. You will use this clay to make a sake cup called a "guinomi."
