Single Dram Case

Single Dram Case

Not yet available outside Japan.

For now the case is sold in Japan only. Leave your email and we will write to you when it can travel further.

One message when that happens. Nothing else.

Take a glass out of the house, and the whisky comes with you.

Cotton canvas woven in Takashima, Shiga. Leather from Himeji. Cut and sewn one at a time at an atelier in Kyoto.

The interior was shaped around a Glencairn tasting glass — it settles in as if measured. Canvas softens with use. Leather deepens in the hand. Both are meant to change, the way whisky changes in the cask.

Repaired at the Kyoto atelier for as long as the brand exists.

Materials

Cotton canvas from Takashima in Shiga — Fujikinbai — paired with leather from Himeji. Two materials chosen the way a whisky is blended: different in nature, brought together to resonate.

Care

Wipe lightly with a dry cloth. If the case gets wet, reshape it and let it dry out of direct sun. Please avoid washing machines and detergents — they harden the leather and shrink the canvas.

Should anything give way, we repair it at the atelier in Kyoto. About our lifetime repair service
