Masu, a container made of Japanese hinoki cedar wood, has its origins in the Middle Ages.
It was a unit of measure for rice. Basic version has a capacity of 1 "go" or 180 g equivalent.
This corresponded to the daily portion needed to feed one person.
Over the years, this container has also become a unit of measure for sake.
In its container, 1 go represents 180 ml.
Japanese cedar wood is known for its antibacterial properties and for the woody taste notes it gives to sake.
When you order sake in an inn, it is often served in a glass placed in the centre of masu.
Sake is then poured into the glass until it overflows and fills the masu.
This tradition is synonymous with kindness and generosity.
