Japanese
TEAWARE Shop

Crafted Memories from Kyoto

Welcome to TSURU-IPPUKU, a small teaware and sake ware shop located near the UNESCO World Heritage Site Nijo Castle in Kyoto.

We carefully curate authentic Japanese crafts from skilled artisans across Japan, including matcha bowls (chawan), kyusu teapots, sake cups and sake sets, and traditional Nambu iron kettles.
Whether you are looking for a tea ceremony bowl, a modern kyusu, or a unique sake set, we hope you will discover a special piece to take home as a meaningful souvenir from Kyoto.

Each item reflects the craftsmanship and traditions that have been passed down through generations in Japan.

We look forward to welcoming you to our shop.
