These glasses come from Toyo-Sasaki Glass Co., part of the Honkaku Shochu Douraku collection built specifically for enjoying shochu, though they work just as well for whiskey, cocktails, and everyday cold drinks. Each glass carries the collection signature Ekubo design, a pattern of rounded dimples pressed into the glass (Ekubo means dimple in Japanese) that gives the set a distinctive look and a good grip in hand.
The set includes two 310 ml glasses, sized for shochu on the rocks, diluted with water, or mixed with soda, fruit, or oolong tea in the traditional style, and equally suited to a proper whiskey pour or an everyday cold drink. Each glass is soda-lime glass with a reinforced rim for added durability against chips, though the reinforcement is limited to the rim rather than the full body of the glass.
Care and Safety Instructions: This is not heat resistant glass and should not go in the microwave or oven. Sudden temperature changes, especially rapid cooling, can cause the glass to crack. Handle carefully, since a scratched glass is more likely to break, and use care when washing the interior, since twisting or applying force from the inside can cause it to break and lead to injury. Avoid dropping the glasses or subjecting them to sudden impacts.
