Tea utensils are containers for serving matcha or tea, and those used to serve strong tea are called strong tea utensils. Those used to serve thin tea are called thin tea utensils.

Please enjoy Japanese tea utensils, tea, and alcohol to your heart's content at Edo Saryo (Craft and Cafe). Edo Saryo (Craft and Cafe) is characterized by Edo-nuri, which was created through repeated trial and error. Edo-nuri is not about potter's wheel, hand-building, painting, pottery, or workshops, but rather about the freedom to choose from more than 10 types of tea utensils, the freedom of freestyle and gold-lacquer style, and the technique of mixing more than 10 types of paint, layering, scraping, patterning, polishing, and finishing, which is a technique that creates tea utensils while maximizing the artist's sense. The backbone is the traditional craft of Edo-nuri, which has been cultivated in Edo = Tokyo for about 260 years, and for the first time, we have succeeded in coloring it with even more diverse colors. Furthermore, Edo-nuri incorporates not only traditional culture but also modern art techniques such as layering, scraping, patterning, polishing, and finishing on tea utensils, and not only follows the flow of traditional Japanese crafts, but also sublimates the Edo-ness and Edo scenery into a work of art that is accumulated in one tea utensil. In addition, it can be used not only for tea, but also for Japan's special alcohol, sake, and you can enjoy the unique aroma, taste, and throat feel of sake. Please enjoy your tea and alcoholic drinks with this original, one-of-a-kind tea utensil.
