This ‘TOKKURI’ is a classic piece of Japanese heritage, widely used not only in Yaho but all across Japan during the early Showa era. A Tokkuri is a traditional ceramic bottle made for Sake (Japanese rice wine). This specific type, known as a ‘KAYOI-TOKKURI’ (carrying bottle), functioned like a modern reusable ‘my-bottle’—people would bring it to the local liquor store to get their Sake refilled directly from the barrel, keeping a running tab with the shop.
