Marusake Gensan Tokkuri No. 2｜LiFE｜Official Online Shop

Nowadays, sake is often sold in glass bottles, but long ago in the Edo period in Japan, sake was generally sold by weight at liquor stores and placed in ceramic tokkuri bottles. The tokkuri used for this purpose was the Genzo tokkuri. This name comes from Akagaki Genzo from the kabuki play "Chushingura," and is so named because the tokkuri is used in a famous scene in the play. It is also sometimes called the "Kayoi tokkuri." Its small mouth and bulging body, which have remained unchanged since ancient times, are somehow charming.
