Shimazu Chokan Kiln, a prestigious name in Satsuma ware.

The 12th generation Shimazu Chokan received numerous accolades at various international expositions, spreading the name of Satsuma ware worldwide. This is a Satsuma ware kiln that has been passed down through generations to the current 15th generation, maintaining the kiln's fire to this day.

Created with the wisdom of Satsuma elders, the far-infrared waves mellow the taste of shochu.

Dilute water and shochu to your preferred ratio, place a mesh over your gas stove, and gently heat over low heat.
It will become surprisingly delicious.

Pouring gently to avoid creating foam will result in even more delicious shochu.

Kuro-Satsuma, as its name suggests, is characterized by its black color, but it is also a type of pottery where individual pieces tend to have variations in their appearance.
Even for the same product, the shape, color, and weight may differ. Please enjoy each piece as a unique work of art.

The clay for Kuro-Satsuma is rich in iron, so depending on how the heat is conducted during firing, you may see reddish hues (kiln variations) in its appearance, rather than a pure black.
Also, there may be individual differences in the depth of black depending on how the glaze is applied.

A small size perfect for savoring your warmed sake or shochu without it getting cold.
It's ideal for sipping slowly.
The base is finished without glaze,
designed to be less likely to slip even when you've had a few drinks.
