Magical Sakura Cherry Blossom Sake Cup

Amazing sake cups, watch sakura flowers bloom magically!

I studied abroad when I was in college, and stayed in Tokyo for two semesters ten years ago. Now that I live in San Francisco, I often miss the cherry blossoms I saw in Japan in the spring. I saw this set of Magic Sakura Color Changing Sake Cups and had to have them! They are so beautiful.

This is my favorite set of sake cups to show off when my family comes to visit! Simply the best purchase I have ever made, the look on everyone's faces when these beautiful blossoms appear is priceless.

Turn your dinner and drinks evening into a magical show!

Amaze your guests with a whimsical magic trick that makes vibrant, colorful blossoms appear from the sky as you fill these traditional Japanese 'o-choko' 猪口Sakazuki cups with your most prized sake. In Japan, very expensive premium sake is served cold, with your choice of Nigori or Ginjo , which has a smooth, delicate taste and fuller flavors when served chilled. While traditional ' Junmaishu' or hot sake is best served warm. Here we offer the original Magic Color Changing sake cups that respond to cold or hot sake or even water/tea.

How the reaction works

COLD - Only responds to COLD liquids. Sakura and Peach bloom PINK , and the plum specifically only blooms RED in this set. Currently our most detailed color change as seen in videos.

HOT - Only responds to HOT liquids. All Sakura, Peach and Plum will turn into a LIGHT PINK blossom.

DUAL (HOT & COLD) - Responds to BOTH HOT & COLD liquids. All Sakura, Peach and Plum will bloom LIGHT PINK when it is HOT and a detailed BLUE when it is COLD.

A traditional masterpiece

Crafted and hand-painted by local Japanese artisans, inspired by artwork painted by Kitagawa Utamaro. Each 'o-choko' (sake cup) Sakazuki is painted with a special non-toxic thermochromic pigment ink and then coated with a clear food-grade ceramic glaze to seal the color-changing ink.

Color changing function: the color changes when the temperature of the warm color changing cup is higher than 39 degrees , and the color changes when the temperature of the cold color changing cup is lower than 21 degrees. The pigment is: temperature-sensitive materials are painted on the cup body and coated with a clear glaze, the materials used are heat-sensitive materials, high temperature resistance of 320 degrees, non-toxic, BPA-free, lead-free, chrome-free and complies with FDA/EU standards.

Due to the delicate thermal reaction, there are occasions when certain parts of the world are too hot or too cold for the cups to arrive fully spent and activated out of the box. In this case, we recommend serving them in a different season or applying a heating or cooling method to return the cups to the original blank white with branches. Gentle hand washing is recommended to preserve the life of the cups and ink design, dishwashing is not recommended.
