A curious set of saké cups, used to play a party game originated in Kōchi Prefecture. The players spin the top, and drink the rice wine from the indicated cup. Each container is shaped in such way it can not be put down until the drink is finished.

Please note, it is a B-grade item. The mouth of Hyottoko cup is glazed over, preventing the saké from dripping out.

The cups feature:
–Tengu, a heavenly winged guardian with characteristic red face and long nose. The nose is hollow, therefore the cup can contain way more alcohol than you'd expect.
–Hyottoko, a comical figure with twisted lips and dotted scarf over his head. His mouth is pierced, forcing the drinking person to press their fingers firmly in order not to spill the drink.
–Otafuku / Okame, a cheerful woman with chubby cheeks. She is considered a symbol of good luck, therefore her cup is the smallest - lucky drinker won't get drunk too fast.
The included die allows for a fourth option: there is a side marked as "うた”, allowing you to sing instead of taking another shot.
The die is marked in hiragana alphabet.

Sizes:
Tengu ca 8x6x9cm
Hyottoko ca 5.5x6x3cm
Otafuku ca 4x5x2cm
Spinning top 3x2x2cm
