■Seema cups are made of stainless steel and lacquered with traditional Yamanaka lacquerware,
This cup has a stainless steel body finished with Tsubame-Sanjo polishing techniques and lacquered by Yamanaka Lacquerware, a traditional craft.
The form and structure of the cup are designed with the beauty of utility in mind. The beauty of the cup is like a work of art that transcends its intended use.
The fusion of craft and industrial technologies has created a unique expression and functionality.

Sai
From lacquer red to lacquer black. The cups are decorated with the "blurred lacquer" technique, which can only be achieved by hand lacquering.
Red and black are the basic shades of lacquer, but the special expression of the overlapping of each color creates a stylish and modern atmosphere.

Enhancing the qualities of lacquer and metal
The body of the cup is made of 18-8 stainless steel, formed and polished in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture.
The upper part of the inside is mirror-finished, while the lower part is polished with spiral stripes to create a vigorous and creamy foam at the moment beer is poured.

The double-layered structure prevents water droplets and keeps the beer cool.

While taking advantage of the functionality of the stainless steel material, the lacquer finish on the outside adds a moist texture and softness to the mouth.

All of the Urushi-Polished Cups, with the exception of the "Red Fuji with Crane" series, are accompanied by coasters made of Echizen Washi, a traditional craft of Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture.

What is Echizen Washi?
Echizen Washi is Japanese paper made in the Okata River basin in the Echizen region of Fukui Prefecture. The main raw materials of washi are kozo (paper mulberry), mitsumata, and gampi, which are the inner bark fibers of the epidermis of plants.
Echizen washi is characterized by the elegant beauty of its kinari color, which stimulates the senses, and by its high quality.
