Madara Karatsu
We use the rare clay that our ancestors used about 400 years ago, the clay from Kitahata Hieda, the birthplace of Karatsu ware. Madara Karatsu is characterized by a straw ash glaze (white cloudy glaze) applied to the sandy, coarse soil, which is characterized by mottled spots, and its overall white and soft skin is attractive. When you pour sake into it, it looks beautiful on the outside, and the more you use it, the more flavorful the color becomes. One of the highlights is the scraped marks on the high ground that stand out, giving it a unique earthy texture.
