酒飲み比べに「オンリーワン」の器 Unique Tokkuri for Kamesei's sake sampling set

Agnes-san's top-like sake 'tokkuri'

亀清旅館の地酒飲み比べ計画の為に地元の陶芸家、ハンガリ生まれのAgnesさんにお願いして、特別なとっくりを作って頂きました。駒と言う代わっている形1.5合大きさのとっくり。

Agnesさんの陶芸は独特なスタイルです。
その主要なモチーフは粘土を薄帯状にして渦巻きで形を作る「クルクル」と、パッチワークのように繋ぎあわせる「ハギハギ」。

そのスタイルに駒の形でちょうどいいとっくりになります。普段は2合の大きさを作っていますが、飲み比べには大き過ぎるかなと。従って、特別で小さ目で作ってくれました。

Agnesさんの工房はこの同じ戸倉上山田温泉にあります。亀清旅館から歩いて約10分。飲み比べでAgnesさんの作品に興味が浮いてきたら、アポを取って行ってみたらいかがですか?

For Kamesei Ryokan's planned Sake Sampler Set, since we are planning on providing offerings from some of our area's most notable breweries, inexpensive sake 'tokkuri' vessels from a 100 yen shop wouldn't suffice. Instead, we had one of our local pottery artists, Hungarian-born Agnes-san, make special top-shaped tokkuri.

Agnes-san's ceramic creations feature curved and rolling ribbons made of clay. She has formed them into sake tokkuri shaped like tops before, but usually in a 2-go size (12oz.) which is a bit too large for just sampling sake. So she made this 1.5-go size set specifically for Kamesei.

Agnes-san's workshop is right here in Togura Kamiyamada Onsen. If our guests use her artwork for our sake tasting and want to see more of her creations, we highly recommend making a reservation and taking the 10 minute walk to see her.
