Ales Dancak Shiboridashi

A Shiboridashi is a traditional Japanese vessel similar to a gaiwan, designed without a strainer or handle. It is specifically crafted for brewing high-quality green teas, allowing you to control the steep time and temperature precisely by pouring directly from the rim.

With a 190 ml capacity, this set is ideal for solo tea sessions or brewing for two people. It is perfectly sized for the concentrated, multiple-steep approach common in Kungfu style brewing.

The set is crafted from local Czech clay and finished with a white interior glaze. This glaze ensures that the vessel is neutral, meaning it will not absorb flavors or aromas, allowing you to use it for different types of tea without cross-contamination.

The matte finish is durable for everyday use, but it should be hand-washed with mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers to maintain the integrity of the exterior texture.

While the clay will retain heat, the lid is designed to be lifted by the knob. As with any ceramic tea vessel, we recommend handling it carefully when brewing with boiling water.

Yes, the Shiboridashi is engineered for high pouring accuracy. When handled with a steady, confident tilt, the shape of the rim allows for a clean, precise dispense without unwanted drips.
