The other day, I happened to find this snake-eyed tokkuri at an old tableware shop in Kichijoji.
I bought it because it was rare to find a sake cup with a snake's eye. The clerk told me that it might have been made as a novelty item.
I poured some Yamasan, which I had just purchased, into it and tasted it.
It was sweet and full-bodied, with just the right amount of acidity. A fruity and delicious cup.
