Thank You!
Dear 6th Annual Sake Day Guests,
Thank you for your contribution for Tohoku at True Sake's "A Toast to Recovery" event. By coming to the event, you showed your support for the areas impacted by the disaster. In addition, thanks to the many guests who stopped at the Sake Brewery Tours table to make an additional donation. We were able to give $49 to JCCNC and True Sake's efforts that evening!
We sincerely hope you enjoy the blue and white o-choko you received as a token of our appreciation for your generosity and think of the event when you take a sip. And, many thanks to the True Sake Team for putting together such a wonderful event for sake fans!
Sincerely, Jennifer and Etsuko

About the guinomi
The beautiful glossy guinomi sake glass comes from Yumachi Gama pottery kiln in Shimane.

Among many small pottery studios in the region, Yumachi Gama pottery kiln is known to be influenced by Kawai Kanjiro and Bernard Leach.
