Flag of Ryuhoku Kumamoto 1974-2005 (Japan) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the historical flag of Ryuhoku, a town in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan, built around the municipal emblem the town used for three decades.

Visual Elements & Composition

The palette is restrained: green covers roughly three quarters of the field, with white carrying the rest. The emblem is a flat, modern vector symbol that dominates the centre. Its construction relies on a circle, sweeping curved shapes and a rectangular cutout, so the eye moves around the form rather than along any border or text. The result is clean and geometric, with no clutter competing for attention.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem is the Ryuhoku-cho sho, the official town emblem adopted on April 1, 1974 and used until 2005. Within that single symbol the town expressed its local identity in a form it kept for more than thirty years. The flag is a record of late twentieth-century municipal life in Kumamoto, and the design holds to that history by reproducing the emblem as it was used rather than reinterpreting it.

Why It Suits a Shot Glass

A shot glass is small, lifted in one hand and brought close to the face, so the design is seen at the exact distance it was drawn for. The circle and curves of the emblem sit well within the glass's narrow silhouette, and the green and white read clearly from the moment the glass is picked up. It is a quiet conversation piece for a home bar, a travel souvenir from a corner of Japan, or a slightly cheeky gift for someone who collects odd bits of history and wants them on the shelf.

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.
