Flag of Sobetsu Hokkaido (Japan) Pint Glass 16oz

The flag of Sobetsu, a town in Hokkaido, Japan, is a calm field of deep blue and white built around a single stylised emblem.

Visual Elements & Composition

Blue covers roughly four fifths of the design, with white as the second and only other colour. The emblem is a circle and a triangle set in flat vector, with a stylised wing rising from the upper half and a ringed annulus anchoring the lower half. The layout is divided into two clear zones, one above the other, so the eye moves from the lifted shape at the top down to the calmer water beneath. The composition is balanced and restrained, with no lettering to compete with the form.

Meaning & Symbolism

The emblem is based on the hiragana character そ (so), the first syllable of the town's name. The upper portion is drawn as spreading wings, a sign of progress and advancement, and it also recalls the volcanic peaks of Mount Usu and Showa-shinzan. The lower portion stands for Lake Toya and for the harmony, brightness and openness of the water. The flag was adopted on 30 June 1958, and it binds the town's name, its landscape and its hopes into one image.

Held in the Hand

A mixing glass is tall and narrows toward its base, so the flag is seen as a band that curves gently with each turn of the wrist. The solid blue field shows the white emblem clearly from the rim, and the wing shape rises up the side in a way that suits a vessel lifted and poured. It is a piece of Hokkaido civic design that travels easily from the shelf to the table.

Clear 16 oz (≈0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel — durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside — color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / ≈0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters — handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
