Magic Sakura Cherry Blossom Sake Cup

Astonish your guests with a whimsical magic trick that makes vibrant colorful blossoms appear from thin air as you fill up these traditional Japanese ‘sakazuki’ さかずき

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 at SakuraLover, we provide the original Magic Color Changing sake cups that react to either cold, or hot sake or even water/tea.
