From Saturday, October 10 to Wednesday, October 13, we will be holding the special exhibition “Fine Wine and Gourmet Food” at our Uehara store!
This marks the sixth year of the “Bishu Kakou Exhibition.”
This exhibition brings together fine sake and snacks, the glassware and vessels for enjoying them, and other items related to this delightful experience.
A night spent alone, sipping a little of your favorite drink and nibbling on snacks. A dining table where you talk with your family about the day’s events. A gathering with friends where conversation inevitably drags on. There are as many ways to enjoy drinks and snacks as there are people. Whether you drink or not, everyone can enjoy themselves at their own pace. With such dining scenes in mind, FOOD FOR THOUGHT is once again pleased to present a selection of lighthearted, elegant vessel combinations.
Set out a tray with a tokuri, small cups, and small bowls, and create a little drinking table just for yourself. Arrange food on large vessels and line up your favorite glasses for a relaxing time with close friends.
There is pleasure in creating a refined setting with matching vessels, and there is pleasure in freely combining pieces of different materials and shapes. Even everyday snacks can look a little different when served in a new vessel.
Once again, wonderful artists have contributed their work to this exhibition.
In addition to glasses, small cups, and tokuri, you will also find vessels for food and small bowls that enhance your dishes. We hope you will look beyond the name “sake vessel” and see how these pieces might fit into your own life.
Browse with your family or friends, or take your time exploring on your own. Come and discover your favorite vessels and the joy of using them. Sake vessels also make wonderful gifts!
We also warmly invite those who do not drink alcohol. Many pieces can be used for Chinese tea, with a tokuri serving as a teapot and a small cup as a teacup. As the shop owner, I cannot drink alcohol at all myself. Why not join us in discovering vessel combinations for enjoying tea in sake vessels?
“What should I serve in this?” “What should I drink from this?” Our staff looks forward to discussing these questions with you.(Igarashi)
