Flag of Otoineppu Hokkaido (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This is a flat, graphic flag design: a deep blue field carrying a single white and red emblem built from a stylised kanji, a sun, a snowflake and six stars.

Visual Elements & Composition

Dark blue fills almost the whole field, with red and white confined to the emblem at its centre. That restraint makes the image read instantly. The emblem is a hexagonal badge built around a circle, with the character 音 (oto) drawn in simplified strokes at its heart. Six pentagrams are arranged around the form, and the overall outline suggests a snowflake. Everything is rendered in clean, flat vector shapes with no shading, so the eye moves from the bold blue ground straight to the emblem.

Meaning & Symbolism

The kanji 音 is the first character of Otoineppu, the village in Kamikawa Subprefecture, Hokkaido, whose name it carries. The circle stands for the sun, and the snowflake form points to the cold northern landscape. The six pentagrams represent the village's silos and the growth of its dairy industry, tying the emblem to agricultural heritage. The village adopted this emblem on June 27, 1965, and the design still serves as a formal statement of local identity and pride.

Made for the Hand and the Toast

A shot glass is small, held close and tipped back in a single movement, so the emblem sits right in front of the eye at the moment of the pour. Every detail of this flag, from the kanji to the ring of the sun, is legible at that intimate range. It makes a fitting souvenir of Hokkaido, a conversation starter on a home bar, and a little piece of Otoineppu's story to raise at the end of an evening.

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.
