丸モ高木陶器 Sakura Color-Changing Porcelain Sake Cups (Pair) — Pink Bloom Thermochromic, 70cc Gift Boxed

These 丸モ高木陶器 sakura sake cups are porcelain tumblers that reveal pink cherry blossoms when filled with cold liquid and return to white as they warm.

Handcrafted in Gifu, Japan, this paired set of color-changing sake cups blends traditional porcelain craftsmanship with playful thermochromic design. Each cup displays a delicate sakura motif that reacts to temperature: pour a chilled drink and the blossoms bloom in pink; as the cup warms, the pattern fades back to white. The set arrives in an elegant gift box and is sized for classic sake pours, making it both a conversation piece and a functional tabletop item.

How does the color-changing effect work and when will I see the pink blossoms?

The cups use a temperature-sensitive coating that becomes pigmented below about 62.5°F (17°C) and fades as it warms. That means cold sake, chilled water, or iced cocktails reveal the pink sakura, while room-temperature or hot beverages restore the white design.

• Activation temperature: below ~62.5°F / 17°C
• Reverses automatically as cup warms
• Visible with cold sake, chilled cocktails, or refrigerated water
• Safe for typical table use; avoid extreme heat and rapid temperature shocks

How should I care for and use these cups to keep the color effect lasting?

To preserve the thermochromic finish and porcelain body, handle the cups gently and avoid abrasive cleaners. Do not expose them to sudden extreme temperature changes or put them in high-heat dishwashers; handwashing preserves the reactive surface longer.

• Hand wash with mild detergent and soft cloth
• Avoid microwaving and boiling liquids inside the cups
• Do not use abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals
• Store at room temperature to protect the coating
