Outotsu: The Perfect Blend of Form and Function

Satoshi Umeno presents Outotsu, a revolutionary glass and coaster set that redefines the traditional drinking experience. Inspired by the need for a hassle-free way to mix drinks and prevent condensation from wetting the table, Outotsu features a coaster that seamlessly attaches to the bottom of the glass, offering a unique and practical solution.

Outotsu's coaster is crafted from Shirasu, a natural material with exceptional water absorption, deodorizing, and antibacterial properties. The innovative design promotes convection when pouring drinks, enhancing aroma and flavor balance without the need for a muddler. The coaster also effectively absorbs moisture and acts as an air cleaner, making it a versatile addition to your tableware collection.

With its stackable design for convenient storage and eco-friendly materials, Outotsu is a testament to Umeno's commitment to creating functional and sustainable products that elevate everyday experiences.

Outotsu was unveiled at the Tokyo International Gift Show in February 2023 and has since garnered attention at the International Furniture Fair Tokyo and Interior Lifestyle Tokyo. The design's use of unique materials and innovative functionality sets it apart as a standout addition to modern tableware.

Umeno's meticulous research and dedication to utilizing eco-friendly materials have resulted in a product that not only enhances the drinking experience but also contributes to a sustainable lifestyle. The Outotsu glass and coaster set is a testament to Umeno's innovative approach to design and commitment to creating products that enrich the user's daily life.
