【Elegant Pair Beer Cups Radiating the Sparkle of Kaga’s Modern Tradition】
A new style of pair beer cups born from the fusion of Kaga’s 400-year heritage of beauty and modern craftsmanship. Their refined elegance blends seamlessly into contemporary interiors, adding a touch of sophistication and charm to everyday life.

【What is a “Shima” Cup?】
A refined lacquerware piece that boasts the elegance of a work of art, yet is durable enough for daily use. It represents a fusion of lacquer techniques passed down since the culturally rich and opulent Azuchi-Momoyama era, with exquisitely polished metalwork that gleams like a mirror—evoking the birth of a new era in Japanese culture.

【Byakudan – The Essence of Japanese Aesthetics】
"Byakudan" is a sophisticated design that embodies the spirit of Japanese beauty and cultural sensibility. Created by sprinkling gold and silver leaf or powder over a lacquer base, then layering additional lacquer on top, this technique results in a rich, glossy finish reminiscent of amber. With continued use, shimmering gold stream-like patterns begin to emerge on the surface, enhancing its timeless allure.

【Proudly Crafted by Uchiki – 130 Years of Heritage】
Uchiki Co., Ltd. is a long-established maker of traditional Yamanaka lacquerware and the creator of the "Shima" cup. By combining the practical functionality of double-walled stainless steel with the artistry of Yamanaka lacquer, each piece radiates a one-of-a-kind beauty. The mirror finish, made possible by the expert polishing skills of Tsubame-Sanjo artisans, brings brilliance to the dining experience. The rare collaboration between Yamanaka’s “lacquering” and Tsubame-Sanjo’s “polishing” has garnered high acclaim worldwide, with “Uchiki Shima” recognized as a brand of excellence. Uchiki has also been selected by the Japan External Trade Organization as a “Takumi (Master Artisan) Enterprise.” The harmony between these two traditional crafts continues to draw increasing international recognition.
