Inoue Kin Kama-ryū Green Mino-yaki Yunomi - Japanese Teacup
For a teacup that feels good in the hand and looks quietly handsome on the table, Inoue's Kin Kama-ryū green Mino-yaki yunomi is an easy choice. This handcrafted Japanese tea cup has a softly curved body, a green glaze with subtle surface texture, and a 7 oz capacity sized for traditional Japanese tea portions.
Why You'll Love This Inoue Teacup
- Comfortable to hold: The gently rounded body settles naturally into your palms, so it stays pleasant to cradle through a long, slow tea session.
- Mino-yaki craftsmanship: This yunomi is made in the Mino pottery tradition of Gifu Prefecture, Japan. Its handcrafted clay body gives each cup small variations, so no two are exactly alike.
- Understated green glaze: The glaze lets the character of the clay show through. It reflects the wabi-sabi appreciation for simplicity and natural imperfection rather than factory-perfect polish.
- Right-sized servings: Holding about 7 fl oz, this cup is smaller than a typical Western mug. That suits Japanese green teas and other teas enjoyed a little at a time.
- A thoughtful gift: A handmade Japanese teacup makes a lovely present for tea lovers, collectors of ceramics, or anyone building a calm daily tea ritual.
