Masu Spillover Etiquette

👘 Meaning & Cultural Relevance

The essential dining etiquette guide to gracefully drinking overflowing sake served inside Soya's wooden box 'Masu'.

Hospitality overflow. A highly celebrated visual feast representing generous spirit. Filling Soya's inner glass until Soya's liquid spills over Soya's wooden square box signifies 'unbounded wealth and warm welcoming'.
