About the Chiikawa Dashiwari Set
Dashiwari is a Japanese way of enjoying sake mixed with dashi, often using the broth from oden. In this set, the concentrated sauce replaces prepared oden broth, making it easier to create a warm, savory drink at home. The cup has separate lines for hot water and dashi sauce, helping users follow the recommended proportions before adding sake.

The company also advises that alcohol should only be consumed by people aged 20 or older and that drinking and driving is prohibited.
Chiikawa began as a social-media comic by illustrator Nagano and follows the daily lives of Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi, and other distinctive characters. Kurimanju is known in the series for enjoying sake, making the dashiwari concept a natural fit for this collaboration. Tamanohikari is a sake brewery founded in Kyoto’s Fushimi district in 1673 and is known for its focus on junmai brewing.
