Japan Koutaigou Shot Glass: Design Description

This shot glass showcases the iconic emblem of the Japanese Imperial Family, also known as the Imperial Crest or the Kikkamonshō ("chrysanthemum flower crest"). The design centers on the chrysanthemum, a symbol deeply interwoven with Japanese imperial identity.

Artwork Details

The design features the meticulously rendered chrysanthemum, characterized by its sixteen prominent front petals and a partially visible second layer of sixteen petals behind. This intricate representation captures the flower's natural form, meticulously detailed to convey its inherent beauty and significance.

The chrysanthemum is likely depicted in a vibrant golden or orange hue, a color traditionally associated with the emblem. This is likely set against a contrasting background, perhaps a bold red or black, enhancing the visual impact and highlighting the emblem’s regal presence.

Symbolism and Meaning

The chrysanthemum itself is rich in symbolism. It embodies concepts of longevity, nobility, and the authority of the Imperial Family. The presence of the Kikkamonshō on this shot glass signifies a connection to centuries of Japanese imperial history and tradition.

The design pays homage to the historical significance of the emblem, connecting to the imperial standards (flags) and other official symbols associated with the Emperor and the royal family.

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.
