Shigaraki ware has a long tradition of being fired in noborigama (climbing kilns) and anagama (wood-fired kilns) at high temperatures over extended periods. Each piece is shaped, dried, and fired by artisans who carefully read the flow of flame, humidity, and the character of the clay—creating work in harmony with nature. No two pieces are ever exactly alike.

Tessan features a gentle, rustic white base scattered with iron specks (black dots), achieved by using iron-rich clay. Each piece is unique, with variations in the intensity of red hues and the distribution of iron spots.

The katakuchi (pouring vessel) shape enhances the aroma and flavor of sake as it is poured. Ideal not only for chilled sake, but also for warmed sake.
