A single spouted pouring vessel, Katakuchi translates to ‘mouth on one side’ and is the traditional choice for pouring sake.

Unlike the Tokuri, the larger shape of the Katakuchi welcomes a two-hand stance, and the open rim allows for the scent to travel before pouring has begun, making usage a multi-sensorial experience.

Thick walls and thoughtful design mean your hands are kept warm and comfortable when serving your drink of choice.

Tetsuya Kowari produces extraordinary vessels that seem almost too sculptural to use but are in fact are all highly functional. These are pieces designed for daily use, or simply for daily contemplation of their incredible aesthetic.

Kowari creates his pieces in a wood fired anagama kiln in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture, and the DEA Store is the official stockist of Tetsuya Kowari work in Australia.
