・Japanese Guinomi (sake cup)

It's said that guinomi can hold twice as much Japanese sake as an ochoko.
Being characterized by a deep base and a wide mouth,
that's why there are many ways of use including sauce, beans, olives and
appetizer bowls, houseplant vase and others.
Actually, pouring sake from a bottle called "tokkuri" and
having the flask with one's hands, and then sipping sake from a "guinomi".
