Have you ever seen a square-shaped wooden container filled with Japanese sake, or a person who drinks it with a wooden cup? This type of cup is called masu, and it is now available at Japanese taste.
Masu wooden cup is a traditional Japanese tool that is originally used for measuring the amount of rice. However, today it is used as a sake cup in auspicious occasions including Japanese-style wedding ceremonies, anniversary events, or birthdays. Although it is okay to drink the sake directly from the masu cup, it is also common to place a glass cup inside it, and pour sake until the cup generates an overflow of sake inside it (it is said that in Japanese context, this overflow is a sign of goodwill and respect from the host who serves sake).
Despite the fact that it is a wooden tool, this masu cup has excellent antibacterial effects as it is made of hinoki (Japanese cypress) wood. It is a great idea to appreciate its pleasant woody aroma while using it.
Its capacity is 1 gou (approximately 150g or 180ml), so you can use it as a measuring cup for approximate measurements.
Processed using the manufacturer’s special high-pressure assembly method, this wooden cup does not leak.

I bought these mask cups as a gift for a friend’s birthday. He was extremely pleased with the quality and the story of the history and ceremonial use of the cups. They arrived to my home in Canada quickly and in perfect condition. Thank you.
