YoiYoi × Tojo Akitsugama

Yamada Nishiki Sake Cup (Exclusive Collaboration)

Crafted from the land where Yamada Nishiki grows.
A sake cup that turns everyday drinking into a ritual.

This exclusive YoiYoi sake cup is handcrafted by Tojo Akitsugama, using materials directly connected to the birthplace of Yamada Nishiki, Japan's most renowned sake rice.

The glaze is made with soil from Yamada Nishiki rice fields and ash from rice straw, creating a natural, earthy finish that reflects the terroir of Tojo. The soft beige-to-brown gradient complements any sake style—junmai, ginjo, nama, aged—and brings warmth to your daily pour.

Key Features

• Glaze Made from Yamada Nishiki Soil & Straw Ash
  The cup carries the essence of the rice fields themselves. This unique glaze gives depth, texture, and a subtle organic character that cannot be replicated by industrial production.
• Designed for Everyday Use
  A balanced form and gentle color palette make it suitable for any sake, any meal, any moment.
• One-of-a-Kind Handcrafted Piece
  Each cup is shaped, glazed, and fired individually. No two pieces share the exact same expression—your cup is truly yours alone.
• Exclusive YoiYoi Collaboration
  Created only for YoiYoi, blending Tojo's heritage with a modern sake lifestyle.
• Warm, Natural Aesthetic
  Smooth to the touch, comfortable to hold, and visually calming. A cup that feels like part of your home from the first use.
