Popular Mug Cup
This is the best-selling and long-standing favorite from JTOPIA, the Galaxy Series Mug Cup. It exudes a high level of aesthetics and luxury in both form and color. Depicting the countless nebulae shining brilliantly in the vast universe on the surface of the cup, it captures the profound beauty of the boundless cosmos, symbolizing an unending romance with the stars.

Recipient of the Nitten Special Selection Award
At the Nitten, Japan's largest art exhibition, the highest honor, the Nitten Special Selection Award, was bestowed upon Shinuemaru. To commemorate this achievement, JTOPIA offers these special limited edition pieces. The Galaxy glaze is a unique technique born from the development of the coveted Yohen Oil Spot Tenmoku that was highly esteemed by historical figures such as Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It's an exceptionally challenging technique where a large portion of the pieces are rejected during each firing in the kiln.

Outstanding Practicality
With its slender and modern shape that widens towards the mouth, this mug cup is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical, allowing for generous servings of your favorite beverages. It offers excellent heat retention and cooling properties, making it suitable for casual use across generations. Being made of porcelain, it is exceptionally durable, requires minimal special care, and can even be used in the microwave.

A Lifetime Mug Cup
These mug cups are crafted from high-quality domestic natural clay material, fired at an ultra-high temperature of 1300 degrees Celsius. They provide a silky-smooth touch, exhibit toughness, are non-absorbent, and resist staining, making them easy to clean.
