Private Pewter Sake Cup Experience with a Kyoto Artisan

Thank you so much for your warm and heartfelt review! I’m delighted not only that you enjoyed the workshop, but also that you enjoyed this area itself, including the café across the street and Kurama Onsen. I was especially touched by your story about carrying your ancestor’s name through four generations. It gave me a real sense of your family’s history and tradition, and it was a story that left a lasting impression on me. I hope you will enjoy the beautiful cups you created for many years to come. Even if they are accidentally dropped and become dented, I can repair and polish them again if you bring them back on a future trip to Japan. Pewter is a material that can be restored and enjoyed for a very long time. Just as your family name has been passed down through generations, I hope these cups will remain a part of your family’s memories for many years to come. Thank you again for your kind words. I wish you many more wonderful journeys and happy memories in the years ahead. Kanako

Thank you so much for your warm and heartfelt review! I am truly happy that this experience became a part of your memories of Japan. It was a pleasure spending time with your family, and I am delighted to know that you enjoyed creating your own one-of-a-kind sake cup. I am also very pleased that you enjoyed the peaceful surroundings of the workshop. It means a lot to me that you were able to appreciate the quiet atmosphere and beautiful natural environment of this area. I hope that every time you use your handmade sake cup, it will bring back fond memories of your trip to Japan and the special time you spent here in Kyoto. Once again, thank you very much for visiting my workshop. I wish you and your family good health, happiness, and many wonderful adventures and memories in the years to come. Kanako

Thank you very much for your kind words! I’m truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience and that it became a unique and special memory of your time in Kyoto. I’m also honored that you chose this workshop as part of such a special trip, especially with your wife’s birthday coming up. I hope that each time you use the sake cup, it will bring back fond memories of your time in Japan. Thank you once again! Kanako

Thank you very much for joining our workshop! During your trip, I heard that you made not only this sake cup, but also chopsticks, a knife, a shuriken, and even a scarf. I was truly impressed and delighted by your desire to learn more deeply about Japanese culture through crafting. Imagining you cooking with the knife you made, and seeing the chopsticks and this sake cup—also made by you—placed together on your table fills my heart with warmth. I hope you continue to enjoy your wonderful journey. Thank you again very much! Kanako

Thank you very much for your warm review! When I learned that you had tried to book this workshop about a year ago, I felt sorry that it didn’t work out at the time, but I was truly touched that you gave it another try a year later. I sincerely hope this experience became one of the memorable moments of your trip to Japan. Thank you as well for sharing so much about Norway. Although Norway had always felt very far from Japan (even though I love Norwegian salmon and mackerel!), meeting you made it feel much closer to me. I hope to visit Atlanterhavsveien someday. Please come and visit Japan again in the future. Thank you once again! Kanako

Merci beaucoup pour votre aimable commentaire ! J’ai passé un moment vraiment agréable en parlant avec vous de la France. Si j’ai l’occasion d’aller en Europe à nouveau, mon rêve serait de visiter le restaurant à Narbonne que vous m’avez recommandé. J’espère que, en regardant vos tasses, vous vous souviendrez de temps en temps de votre voyage au Japon. Je vous remercie encore une fois ! Kanako

Thank you so much for your heartwarming review! I’m so glad that you seemed to have enjoyed both the workshop and the local area. You were so focused and patient in creating the hammer marks, and the result was a beautifully finished cup! I truly enjoyed spending such a warm and pleasant time with you both. Thank you again! Kanako

Thank you so much for your kind words! Each of you created such unique and beautiful cups. You are all professionals in your own fields, and it was truly inspiring for me as well. You also share a wonderful bond through your common interests. Please continue to enjoy your journey together! I had a really great time too — thank you so much! Kanako

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Both of you created such unique and beautiful cups. I was thrilled to see your interest in Japanese culture and the Japanese language. Please come visit Japan again sometime. Thank you very much once again! Kanako

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! I was truly touched by your calm and lovely presence, and by the care you put into crafting each piece. Knowing that you continue to cherish them even after returning home brings me great joy. I sincerely hope you will visit Japan again someday. Thank you once again for your kind words! Kanako
