Product description

Elevate Your Cocktail Experience with the Asahi Nagao Tsubame-sanjo Pure Copper Moscow Mule Mug. Experience the refreshing chill of a perfect Moscow Mule—or your favorite cold drink—with a piece of authentic Japanese artistry. This Asahi Nagao Pure Copper Mug (360ml / 12.2 fl oz) is more than just drinkware; it's a testament to centuries of metalworking mastery from the renowned Tsubamesanjo region of Japan.

The Tsubame-Sanjo region in Japan's Niigata Prefecture stands as the country's preeminent hub for metalworking, with a rich blacksmithing history dating back to the Edo period. This area is globally renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, producing nearly 95% of all domestic Japanese tableware. The production of pure copper mugs and drinkware is a particular specialty of Tsubame City. 

Master artisans, upholding centuries-old traditions, meticulously hand-polish and often apply a distinctive hammered finish (tsuchime) to each piece. This pure copper construction provides a superior drinking experience, leveraging the metal's high thermal conductivity. The mugs instantly chill the surface and maintain a refreshingly cold temperature for beverages like beer or whiskey, often causing the exterior to frost over. These copper vessels are celebrated worldwide as a perfect fusion of technical mastery, traditional heritage, and functional elegance.

Crafted with Japanese Tradition This exceptional mug is produced by Asahi Co., Ltd. and distributed by Nagao Co., Ltd., embodying the precision and quality of the Tsubamesanjo region in Niigata Prefecture, known as the "town of craftsmen" for its 400-year metalworking history.
