It is thought to be one of them, but the Uguisu sake container called Uguisu Tokkuri 'うぐいす徳利' actually became popular from the Meiji period to the Showa period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Uguisu Tokkuri is a sake cup also known as a squeaking Tokkuri.\u003cbr\u003eThe typical design is a hexagonal cylinder with a lovely little bird perched on top. When you fill it with sake and pour it into a cup, the bird chirps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mechanism that produces the sound is based on the principle of the water flute. The inside of the Uguisu Tokkuri is divided vertically into two parts, which are connected at the bottom. When sake is poured into the bottle, the water level changes, and air flows in and out of the bottle, causing the little bird-shaped whistle to sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is also a Uguisu sake cup called Uguisu Hai 'うぐいす盃' which has a whistle attached to the mouth and makes a sound when you suck on it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e| Uguisu Sake Container |\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSize: D 6 x H 15.5 cm\u003cbr\u003eCapacity: 210 ml\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Ceramic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e| Uguisu Sake Cup \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e|\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSize: D 5.5 x H 3.5 cm \u003cbr\u003eCapacity: 20ml\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMaterial: Ceramic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e| Uguisu Sake Container \u0026amp; Cup Set \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e|\u003cbr\u003eContains: 1 Uguisu Sake Container (Green \/ Yellow) \u0026amp; 2 Uguisu Sake Cups\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDishwasher safe\u003cbr\u003eNot suitable for microwave use\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SIMPLY NATIVE ORIGINAL","offers":[{"title":"Uguisu sake cup","offer_id":43518054203491,"sku":null,"price":31.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Uguisu sake cup - Plum (うぐいす梅盃)","offer_id":44012749422691,"sku":null,"price":28.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Uguisu sake container - Green","offer_id":43518054236259,"sku":null,"price":91.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Uguisu sake container - Yellow","offer_id":43518054269027,"sku":null,"price":91.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Uguisu sake container \u0026 2 cups set - Green","offer_id":43518054301795,"sku":null,"price":139.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Uguisu sake container \u0026 2 cups set - Yellow","offer_id":43518054334563,"sku":null,"price":139.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/6150\/9219\/files\/Simply-Native-Whistling-Uguisu-Sake-Container-Set.jpg?v=1771589165","url":"https:\/\/simplynativejapan.com.au\/en-eu\/products\/whistling-sake-container-set","provider":"Simply Native","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
