【Artisan】 Shikki-Nuri Double-Walled Tokkuri Traditional Craftsmanship × Modern Metal Aesthetics In Tsubame City, Niigata — a renowned center of Japanese metal craftsmanship — and Kaga City, Ishikawa, famed for its centuries-old lacquer and gold-leaf tradition, artisans have joined forces to create this remarkable piece. The “Nijū Tokkuri” embodies the fusion of precise stainless-steel engineering and refined lacquer artistry, bringing forth a sake vessel that is both highly functional and exquisitely beautiful. Crafted from 18-8 stainless steel with a double-walled structure, the bottle’s hollow layer of air acts as natural insulation, effectively retaining the ideal temperature of sake. Whether warm or chilled, the sake remains at its best for longer, while the exterior stays cool, dry, and comfortable to the touch. The silhouette is sleek and minimal, its lacquered surface accented by subtle metal reflections and, in some models, delicate gold leaf. This interplay of materials captures light in quiet elegance, allowing the piece to stand not only as a vessel, but as an objet d’art. This Tokkuri is more than a sake bottle — it is a contemporary craftwork that bridges traditional Japanese techniques with modern design. It can be appreciated on the dining table, admired as an exhibition piece, or cherished as a refined gift. Through its form and function, it tells the story of craftsmanship, culture, and time.
