Flag of Niikappu Hokkaido (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This is a flat, graphic flag that packs a whole town's story into a single emblem on deep blue.

Visual Elements & Composition

Deep marine blue fills roughly three quarters of the field, with a cinnamon-coloured emblem sitting at its centre and drawing the eye straight in. The emblem is built on four-fold radial symmetry, so it reads as a cross-shaped, four-petaled motif that feels balanced from every angle. The rendering is flat vector with clean edges and no shading, so each element stays crisp and distinct. Within the emblem, the parts are arranged so that they also form a single written character, the kanji 北 for "north".

Meaning & Symbolism

Each component carries a meaning. Pioneering tools stand for the town's frontier spirit. Horse hooves recall Niikappu's place as a major horse breeding centre. A ship's anchor points to the importance of marine resources, and a crown refers to the character kanmuri (冠) in the town's name. Together they express the town's peace, unity and continuous progress. The flag was adopted on March 21, 1968, and it belongs to the modern era of Hokkaido's regional identity.

Made for the Shot Glass

A shot glass is small and held close, so the design comes up to the eye at arm's length, where the blue field and the cinnamon emblem can be read in a single look. The symmetrical emblem suits a round vessel, because it stays balanced as the glass is turned. Hold it up at a gathering and the kanji and the anchor become a conversation starter, which makes this a thoughtful, cheeky keepsake for anyone with a link to Hokkaido or a taste for graphic, meaningful design.

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.
