Usuhari - DAIGINJO with wooden box | SHOTOKU Glass
A special glass for appreciating the delicate character of Japanese sake.
Founded in Tokyo in 1922 as a manufacturer of glass light bulbs, Shotoku Glass has spent over a century perfecting its glassblowing techniques. This expertise led to the creation of Usuhari, a collection of exceptionally delicate, mouth-blown glassware.
Named after Daiginjo, a premium grade of Japanese sake, this glass brings a different dimension to the drinking experience. With walls measuring less than 1 mm and a finely finished rim, it feels almost weightless in the hand, while its exceptional clarity allows the natural colour of the sake to shine through.
Its elegant form makes it a lovely choice for enjoying sake at home or sharing a special bottle with friends. Presented in a wooden box, it also makes a considered gift for sake enthusiasts.

History of Shotoku Glass
Established as a manufacturer of light bulbs in 1922, Shotoku Glass were originally renowned for their niche technique in mouth-blown glass. As the light bulb industry automated, Shotoku Glass shifted to manufacturing glassware, concentrating on the production of mouth-blown glasses of several thousand kinds. Shotoku Glass is most known in Japan for their“Edo glass”; a small beer glass that is admired for its handiness and delicate strength, earning a high reputation with top restaurants and the hospitality industry. With a long and rich experience in mouth-blown glasses, Shotoku Glass has succeeded in creating an ideal series of very thin glassware.
