A Miniature Ocean of Zen: The "Goldfish" Gui-nomi
Experience a moment of profound tranquility with every sip. Hand-carved by the legendary Hideyoshi Tadano, this exquisite "Goldfish" Gui-nomi (Sake Cup) is a masterclass in sculptural crystal. Using his world-renowned three-dimensional carving technique, Master Tadano creates a breathtaking illusion of a vibrant goldfish swimming gracefully within the crystal walls.
The Luxury of Weight and Clarity
Designed for the true connoisseur, this 100ml cup features a remarkable 11mm thickness. The substantial 272g weight provides a cool, prestigious hand-feel that elevates the ritual of tasting premium Junmai Daiginjo. The deep, flowing cuts of the fins and scales refract light with unmatched brilliance, making the fish appear to pulsate with life when submerged in sake.

In Japanese culture, the Goldfish is a cherished symbol of "Abundance and Good Fortune." This piece is not just functional barware; it is a spiritual guardian and a conversation piece that brings the heritage of Tokyo's finest craftsmanship to your home.
