NAKAGO by K.Fujiwara

NAKAGO Tin Products

We are particular about bringing out the shininess of tin to the maximum. This shininess represents our pride in our manufacturing, and our pride in the special "A" ranked rice growing region of ​​Yamada Nishiki. We want each person to cherish their own pride. The shininess of the surface, achieved through our unique techniques, is the NAKAGO brand's commitment.

Also great as a special gift

Tin is very soft and unbreakable, and the more you use it, the more unique its texture becomes. For this reason, the 10th wedding anniversary in Japan is called the "tin wedding," with the meaning that "with a mellow and soft heart, we may continue our unchanging marital relationship forever." Our tin products are also chosen as gifts for important anniversaries such as this.

The tin products in the Paulownia wood box are wrapped in Banshu fabric, carefully woven by craftsmen. The gentle look of the woven fabric, which is different from paper wrapping, adds color and uniqueness to the gift.

Tasting comparison

Tin sake cups are said to make the taste of sake mellow because the tin ion action removes any unpleasant flavors and balances the taste of the sake. Then drink the same sake in a glass sake cup with the same shape. You can enjoy different flavors with each sake cup made from tin and glass. NAKAGO's tin sake cup sets are uniquely processed by hand. This gives them a shine that other tin products do not have. The glass sake cups are light and slightly rounded. Although both the sake cups are the same shape, the texture and flavour changes depending on the material of the cup.

Let's try drinking Japanese sake with tin and glass cups and enjoy the differences in taste!
