Sugahara Handmade Glassworks - The Beer - Haku / 菅原工芸硝子 Sghr

At the heart of SGHR Sugahara is a quiet but powerful belief: glass is not a static material — it is alive. Each piece is shaped through a constant conversation between molten glass and the hands of the maker, guided by experience, intuition, and deep respect for the material. This is not simply production, but a moment of collaboration, gently captured in glass. Sugahara’s work carries a warmth that can be felt the moment it is held — reflecting both the hands that shaped it and the moment in which it was made.

What truly sets Sugahara apart is its people. Here, craftsmanship is shaped by people, not process. Rather than pursuing rigid repetition or mechanical perfection, Sugahara’s artisans work with sensitivity and attentiveness, responding to how the glass moves, softens, stretches, and settles in that exact moment. Craftspeople are not merely executing designs — they are deeply involved in creation itself, listening to the glass as it glows and transforms, and capturing the precise moment when its form feels right. A culture of trust and experimentation allows this craft to remain natural, expressive, and deeply human.

Sugahara glassware is celebrated not for brilliance alone, but for its tactile warmth and quiet presence. It sits comfortably in the hand, allows light to travel softly across its surface, and enhances everyday rituals without demanding attention. Whether used for water, tea, wine, or simply placed on a table, each piece brings a sense of calm, colour, and quiet joy — glass made to be lived with, and gently cherished over time.

Created in collaboration with COEDO, the internationally acclaimed Japanese craft beer brand, The Beer series reflects a shared philosophy of “Beer Beautiful” — enjoying beer slowly and elegantly. The Haku glass is designed for unfiltered white beers, known for their fruity flavour and gentle cloudiness. Its slender, champagne-like form enhances the beer’s translucency and natural gradient, while the widening rim allows flavours to spread smoothly across the palate. Particularly suited to wheat-style beers such as COEDO Shiro.

As the whole piece is handmade in Japan, slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product.
