Flag of Nanporo Hokkaido (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the flag of Nanporo, a town in the Sorachi Subprefecture of Hokkaido, Japan, built around a single bold red emblem on a clean white field.

Visual Elements & Composition

Red and white are the only colours, and they split the image almost evenly, with white covering the larger share of the field. The red emblem sits dead centre, so the eye lands on it immediately. Its outline is circular, and inside the circle is a stylised rendering of the katakana characters ミナミホロ (Minamihoro), the town's name. The flat, vector-clean shapes leave no shading or texture, which gives the flag a crisp, formal quality.

Meaning & Symbolism

The flag was adopted on June 10, 1964, and its circle stands for the stability of the town and the harmony of the people who live there. The emblem also maps the local terrain. Nanporo lies between three rivers, the Yūbari, the Chitose and the old Yūbari, and the design holds that geography within its single symbol. Read together, the red circle, the white ground and the town's name tell a story of a community anchored by its landscape.

Why It Suits a Shot Glass

A shot glass is small, and it is lifted and held close, so the emblem reads at arm's length as a complete image. Its circle sits at the centre of the glass, where a single look takes in the whole flag. It makes a good conversation piece for a home bar, a travel memento from Hokkaido, or a gift for someone who appreciates a design with a story behind it.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
