A “My Sakazuki” Experience Crafted by Hammering Copper

A tour at the Tazen workshop, where you make your own personal sakazuki by hammering copper. The finished sake cup can be taken home on the same day. It will serve not only as a travel memory but as a “growing vessel” that brings the experience back to life every time you use it in your daily life.

Experience the Charm of Copper Through the Five Senses

Making a sakazuki is an experience filled with the unique allure of copper—the sound of hammering, the vibrations felt in your hand, the tension of the metal, and the luster when polished. Feel the fascination of the material through your five senses, something that cannot be understood just by looking.

Connect with the Culture of Copper Heritage

Tazen has a long history of copper craftsmanship in Sendai. In this experience, you do more than just “make”; you are immersed in the cultural background and the meaning of the tools. It is a program that invites you to bring home the story of the land, something that cannot be bought at a destination.
