Glass Crumpled Like Paper: Kimura Glass Crumple Old Frost

Imagine a sheet of paper crumpled into a ball and gently smoothed out again. That is the distinctive shape of the Crumple Old Frost, a rocks glass by Kimura Glass (Kimura Glass Co., Tokyo).

At first glance it looks rugged and full of character. Yet the moment you pick it up, its uneven surface settles comfortably against your fingertips, offering a surprisingly pleasant grip. Each time you touch it or turn it, the glass shows you a different face.

The frosted finish softly catches the light and gives the glass a calm, velvety texture. Pour in a drink, and its color and light melt into the folds, bringing the texture of the glass to life even more.

Enjoy whisky or shochu on the rocks, watching a large ice cube slowly melt, and turn your everyday drink into a slightly special moment.

Kimura Glass's Crumple Old Frost is available at Taisho Glass Shukigura, our sake-ware shop in Otaru. If you are strolling through Otaru, please stop by and feel its texture in your own hands.
