\nAbout Ohashi Ryoki Co.Ltd.<\/span>
\n

Japanese Traditional Craft: “Masu” (\u67a1, a measure)
\nTraditionally used as a tool to measure rice and wheat, “masu” was a tool indispensable for living in Japan 1300 years ago. OHASHI RYOKI (\u5927\u6a4b\u91cf\u5668) continues to further explore the potential of “masu”.
\nDrinking sake from “masu” is a chic Japanese way to enjoy sake with Japanese cuisine. By improving on various aspects of “masu,” such as design and usability, OHASHI RYOKI is continuously helping refined sake brewers in Japan and allowing everyone to enjoy Japanese sake to the fullest extent. For Japanese sake lovers, they aim to expand the possibilities and familiarity of Japanese sake, as well as promote “masu” everywhere in the world. OHASHI RYOKI will be giving away a limited number of “masu”!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
