Stainless Steel Receiving Cup

While most manufacturers are reluctant to making cups due to its complicated nature of production, we’ve at last found a craftsman that will make this product possible.

This Fuji-Royal original product was inspired by the European travel-sized cutlery case that is currently displayed at the Tsubame Industrial Materials Museum in Niigata Prefecture.
