Masu Set Feature 1

A humorous gem born from our commitment to "Masu

This 3-piece Masu set includes 3 different kinds of Masu, each with a picture painted on it. This set is produced by Ohashi Lager, a brand established in 1950 in Ogaki City, the largest producer of wooden "Masu" in Japan.

The brand has been thoroughly devoted to "Masu" and this product is a gem that allows you to directly feel the traditional craftsmanship that has been passed down for more than 1,300 years. The illustration with a sense of humor will bring a smile to the face of anyone who uses it.

What is the role of Masu?

In modern life, few people use Masu as a daily tool. Although it is an item that is becoming less familiar to us, Masu is actually a traditional tool with a history of 1,300 years. It has been used for many years as a measuring instrument for rice and grains in people's daily lives.

Today, the Masu is often used as a cup for weddings and other celebratory occasions, or as a tool for enjoying sake. Although its role has changed from its traditional role, today it is often used as a good luck charm.

This Masu set can be used not only for drinking sake, but can also be enjoyed in various ways after its role as a sake container is over. You can use them to hold beans for Setsubun, or as a container for small items, and so on.

Masu Set Feature 3

Designs depicting "only in Japan

Each Masu of different sizes has an illustration of "Samurai", "Ninja", and "Sumo". The aim is to evoke the image of "THE Japan". The design of the Masu, which has been rooted in the Japanese culture, is a straightforward expression of a uniquely Japanese design, which is very pleasing.

The Masu itself is of course of first-class quality, but the illustrations are all full of humor. Each Masu contains a bottle of sake, and there is an affinity with the Masu.

Details of Masu Set 1

Three sizes with different capacities

There are three different sizes of Masu: large, medium, and small. The largest Masu has a capacity of exactly 1 gou (1 cup). The large size is 8.5cm square x 5.6cm high, the medium size is 6.3cm square x 4.4cm high, and the small size is 4.5cm square x 3.6cm high.

The other two cups can be stored neatly when not in use, as they fit snugly into the large one. There are many advantages to this product, such as its light weight and the fact that it will not break even if dropped.

Hinoki wood has a sterilizing effect and can be used immediately after delivery without washing. Since it is natural wood, it may shrink, so if you wash it in water, do it only for a short time and let it dry naturally.
