A tumbler that settles into your hand
About Nousaku
Nousaku (能作) is a foundry founded in 1916 in Takaoka, Toyama, a city whose metal-casting tradition goes back some 400 years. It began by making Buddhist altar fittings and now uses the same casting skills to create tableware and interior pieces in brass and pure tin. Every design starts from the material itself, and each piece is finished by hand by Nousaku's craftspeople.
1. Made to hold
Of all Nousaku's pieces, NAJIMI was designed with the most attention to grip. A hollow for the thumb lets this generously sized tumbler sit securely in the hand; najimi means "a familiar, comfortable fit." The wide mouth is ideal for whisky or shochu on the rocks.
2. Pure tin
Made of 100% tin, a metal with a surprisingly warm feel. Tin is said to purify water and make drinks taste mellower, and it conducts heat well, so cold drinks stay cold. Poured into tin, beer forms a fine, creamy head.
3. A pair for gifting
Soft drinks taste smoother too, so the set suits anyone, whether they drink alcohol or not. Choose a paper gift box or a paulownia wood box.

Care
- Tin is a soft metal. Avoid repeatedly applying force to the same spot.
- Tin has a low melting point: do not use over a direct flame, in the microwave, dishwasher or dryer.
- Do not put it in the freezer. Extreme cold can cause "tin pest" (discoloration and deformation).
- Wash with a soft sponge and mild dish soap. Do not scrub with abrasive pads or cleanser.
- If the shine dulls, polish it with metal polish, toothpaste or baking soda.

도야마현 다카오카
400년 주조 역사를 지닌 다카오카에서 1916년에 창업한 노사쿠는 불단 장식 금구 제작으로 시작했습니다. 오늘날에는 주석과 황동을 주조해 식기, 풍경, 인테리어 소품을 만들며, "더 좋은 주물을, 제대로 만든다"는 단순한 목표를 지켜 가고 있습니다.
