It’s got kanji printed on the front in a light white and I figured out that one says “snow” other than that one symbol I’m not sure what the others are. If anybody reading this knows Japanese kanji please share!
I’m not sure if it’s the brand or a description of the object.
Most Sake decanters I’ve come across are around 6 inches tall or about 15 cm’s. The one pictured here is taller than the average standing at 9 inches or 23 cm’s tall.
It’s Width at the widest point is 4.5 inches, 11 cm’s and the top opening is 1.5 inches, 5 cm’s. Add Ice to the small ice cave opening to chill your Sake or white wine. With wine or sake you can’t add ice to the beverage without ruining it, thus the ice cave.
The unique look and design make it a great gift for a Sake lover or chilled white wine drinker.
The decanter holds 16 ounces or 450 cc’s. See less
