I started to make a product with an upgraded shot glass.
It is a design that aims to upgrade the traditional and standard design as it is, eliminating the originality.
The intention is to "enjoy the color of the beverage by making the lower part transparent."
It's clear and transparent, so it's suitable for whiskey and tequila.
・ Differences in color depending on the material of oak barrels, sherry barrels, etc.
・ Differences in aging period for reposado, anyejo, etc.
I think that it is a design with specifications that you can fully enjoy the color of barrel aging.
In addition to that intention, the design is to improve the grade by adding a good mouthfeel and a good touch.
As a touch, we have two fairly deep cuts on the side that change the shape of the bottom.
By doing this, I think that the edge when holding the glass gives the comfort peculiar to Kiriko.
The function to give a touch is the functional beauty that leads to the design.
There is also work on the mouth.
By sloping the mouth side and rubbing it in a semi-circular shape, the mouthfeel will be very good.
This mouthfeel is different from the trendy thin glass.
I would like you to drink water when it is first used, but I think that the water tastes very good because of its good taste.
I rubbed the mouth about 10 patterns, such as rubbing in a square, rubbing without leaving a colored part, rubbing while leaving a color of 1 mm, rubbing with an arc, etc. I decided this because I thought it was best when I rubbed it.
I identified and considered the requirements when humans feel comfortable.
It is shaped to meet about three of these requirements, and I think it is a work that will surely satisfy you.
This also corresponds to the design and functional beauty as a result of pursuing functions.
In the center of the glass, a traditional octagonal basket pattern is cut in a strip shape.
The style of shaving around in a band shape is a common design in traditional designs.
It is an adjustment that suppresses originality.
In order to make it a high grade, we cut it to a size much smaller than the size of a general octagonal basket and raise the grade, and I think that the beauty can be understood from the appearance.
In addition, since the lines of the star anise are polished one by one, the brilliance of the star anise is strong and we are particular about the grade of details.
Star anise is one of the most difficult cuts in traditional patterns.
It is an auspicious pattern that makes sense to remove bad things with the stitches of the basket.
Finally, to summarize the features of this glass,
・ Traditional design
・ Good taste
・ Good to the touch
・ The difficult octagonal tiling is cut.
・ The size of the star anise is quite fine.
・ I think the shape of the bottom will be interesting.
I think it was a good work with a high grade and emphasis on tradition.
I think you can see the beauty of traditional style design from the photos.
We would appreciate it if you could consider it for yourself, gifts, celebrations, Instagram, and improving the brand image of the store.
