Flag of Odaka Fukushima 1974-2005 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the municipal flag that the town of Odaka, in Japan's Fukushima Prefecture, flew from 1974 until 2005, built around a single emblem set on a deep purple field.

Visual Elements & Composition

Deep purple dominates the artwork, covering most of the field, with white reserved for the emblem at its centre. The style is flat and vector-clean, with no shading or texture to distract from the shapes. The main figure is a stylised crest built from circles and interlocking rings, arranged with the formal symmetry of traditional heraldry. Nothing is written across the flag, so the eye settles on the emblem alone.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem was the town's official mark, a simplified design expressing local identity and the character of the place. The flag was adopted on July 1, 1974, and served as a symbol of the Odaka community for three decades. It was retired in 2005, when Odaka merged with Haramachi and Kashima to form the city of Minamisoma. That closing date gives the design its nostalgic weight: it marks a community that no longer exists under its old name, and a moment in regional administrative history.

A Small Flag for a Small Glass

A shot glass is lifted, held close and turned in the fingers, so the design reads at arm's length rather than across a room. The crest sits neatly within that close view, and the purple field gives it a bold silhouette against whatever drink is poured. For anyone who collects flags or who has a fondness for Japanese regional history, it makes a conversation piece for the home bar.

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.
