Flag of Narao Nagasaki 1961-2004 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design is a flat, confident emblem: a single stylized hiragana character, shaped like a fish, set against a clean field of azure and white.

Visual Elements & Composition

Azure fills most of the composition, with white carrying the emblem itself. The central figure is a circular emblem built from stylized, interlocking leaf forms, and its shape reads at once as a letter and as a fish. Nothing is decorative for its own sake. The palette and the simple geometry keep the eye on one centred mark, so the flag reads clearly even at a glance.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem is built from the hiragana character "na" (な), drawn so that its form becomes a fish. That fusion of writing and marine life is the heart of the design. The upturned tail fin stands for the rapid development of the town and its symbolic leap forward. The flag was adopted in 1961 for Narao Town on Nakadori Island in the Goto Islands of Nagasaki Prefecture, and it flew until 1 August 2004, when Narao merged with neighbouring towns to form Shin-Kamigoto. It speaks to local pride, the town's maritime life and the regional identity of Nagasaki.

Made to Hold in One Hand

A shot glass is small and lifted close to the face, so this emblem is seen at exactly the range it was drawn for. The fish-shaped character sits at the centre of the glass, where the eye lands first, and the azure and white read clearly through clear glass. Pour a round, raise the glass and take a moment with a piece of Nagasaki history. It makes a thoughtful, slightly cheeky gift for anyone who collects places and their stories.

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.
