Tableware - Sake Cup - Tin (100%)

Description: Tin, the most expensive metal after gold and silver, is soft and malleable. It is normally mixed with other metals in products to increase its hardness, but Nousaku uses 100% tin. It may be a counterintuitive concept, but this idea allows us to accomplish the creation of unique products which can be bent and used.

Though tin resembles silver in its whiteness, it does not rust nor tarnish easily. Also, pure tin is significantly antibacterial and safe for serving foods, therefore making it a suitable material for tableware or accessories.

In Japan, it has been said that tin removes the bitterness from Japanese sake as well as other beverages.
