This set of three Sakabukuro sake-straining bags is a wonderful piece of Japanese culture to display, and of course use.
To make sake, each Sakabukuro bag is soaked in persimmon, giving it a rich brown color, then filled with fermented rice. After time, the delicious liquid is squeezed from the bag.
Use your imagination to create handbags, wine-holders, or patchwork crafts. Remember that each set of three is slightly different from the next because each Sakabukuro is unique. They display rugged seams and rustic sewing that shows how often these bags have been used.
