Masu Cypress Wood Square Beer Mug From Japan
Sake is traditionally enjoyed from a square wooden cup called a masu and now beer can be too with this cool new Masu Cypress Wood Square Beer Mug from Masuya in Japan. Handcrafted by masu artisans in Gifu Prefecture, these square-shaped, nearly-a-pint glasses are made from fragrant Japanese hinooki cypress wood, have a convenient handle on the side, and can be used with either cold or hot beverages. Sip a frosty beer, chilled sake, or even a hot coffee from the corner or just use it as an unusual ice cream bowl. The wooden design prevents annoying condensation on the outside and a urethane resin coating on the inside ensures it stays water-repellent. The only downside is that when you clink glasses before drinking, it will be more of a less satisfying low thud. 🍻
