Great little set. I love the look of it and I look forward to using it more. I love sake and tea so it’s the perfect combo.

This set is so well crafted & designed. I love that it can be used for hot or cold saki. I had never had cold saki till I got some cucumber infused saki. Absolutely beautiful and a great price.

Others have done a thorough job reviewing this product, so there is not much that I can add. I echo the many comments praising the aesthetics of the set, as the embossed ceramic is minimalist and attractive. Each of the components (even the towel!) arrives carefully packed into a separate cutout in a block of foam that fills out the interior of the outer box. Similar to aspects of the product listing, the instructions are poorly translated for English, so you might need to intuit some of the details on your own.Some of my ceramic pieces have what appears to be trails or globs of a hardened glue stuck to the exterior. It reminds me of the cooled residual product from a melted glue stick from a hot glue gun. The source is unclear, since there is no obvious need or use for glue in the ceramics. Fortunately, the glue on mine removed easily and cleanly. I noted that another reviewer, however, discovered the same material but had more difficulty removing it.My only complaint about the set, and the main reason for 4 rather than 5 stars, is that the warming feature seems aimed more at atmospherics than functionality. There is no realistic way that a tiny tea candle will heat the sake decanter to proper temperature, even if filled with warm water. For an authentic, proper experience, the user will need to preheat the sake to proper temperature and then pour it into the decanter. The candle might help keep it warm, to some extent, but even that seems doubtful. I’d consider the warmer to add to the overall experience mainly by incorporating a candle for aesthetics.Finally, I’ll note that the multiple references to the sake container having a “Nature Paulownia Wood Lid” are confusing. They are referring to the cork; or, perhaps I should say cork-like object. To my eye, and touch, it is a generic cork (made from cork) like any other. Personally, I’ve never heard of Paulownia—a very soft wood, similar to balsa and known for use as a veneer—being fragmented and then reformed into some sort of cork-like composite. If it were, then I’d be concerned about using the end product in a way that it would come into contact with consumables, especially heated beverages, because some sort of adhesive would be needed to bind that wood composite. Here, though, I am not especially concerned, because I feel fairly confident that what’s included in the package is an ordinary cork.
