This product was planned and developed by university students as part of Chuo University's "Social Entrepreneurship Program," a class that teaches product development utilizing local resources. Staff from the nonprofit organization Tama Genryu Kosuge serve as guest lecturers for the class, teaching about Kosuge Village's resources and product development know-how. Each product is handcrafted by a craftsman living in Kosuge Village who works in front of the Studio Farm, and is designed to enhance the taste of Far Yeast Brewing's craft beers and spirits.

■Features of Wooden Beer Glasses 1. Enjoy an elevated evening drink with the warmth of nature. This beer glass uses the insulating properties of cypress wood and its smooth surface to maintain the beautiful foam of your beer, allowing you to feel the gentle warmth of the wood with every sip. The thick rim allows you to feel the presence of the wood, making it a truly special piece that will elevate your everyday evening drink into a special occasion.
2. A sustainable masterpiece created from Kosuge Village's cypress and artisanal skill. The cypress used is wood that was previously cut down to protect against shade and has not previously been seen as valuable. By reusing it and carefully processing it, Kosuge Village artisans have created an environmentally friendly beer glass that is full of the charm of local craftsmanship. Along with the scent of the wood, this product allows you to feel the nature of Kosuge Village and the artisanal skill of the artisans.
3. A one-of-a-kind, personalized glass. No two glasses have the same wood grain, giving each glass a unique look. Furthermore, each glass is engraved with a lot number, which will grow over time into a unique and valuable item. We also offer custom engravings of your name, anniversary, or any other text of your choice, creating a truly special cup of tea.
