I didn't expect to care this much about a cup, but the curve of the rim makes every sip feel considered. It's light in the hand yet solid, and the shape works just as well for my morning coffee as it does for evening tea. Two weeks in and it's already the one I reach for first.

The handle is what sold me, it's thin enough that my fingers wrap around it without any awkward grip. Been drinking my morning coffee out of it for three weeks now and it still feels like a small ceremony. Fukasawa clearly thought about how a cup actually gets held.

I've been reaching for this cup every single morning since it arrived, and the weight in my hand is just right — not too heavy, not flimsy. The handle fits my fingers perfectly, which sounds small but makes a real difference when you're half awake.
