This particular shape is a soba choko (soba cup), which is used for the dipping sauce for soba noodles and drinking soba cha (soba tea) after the meal. Soba choko usually come in simpler shapes and design for practical reasons, and feature designs with plants, landscapes, mingei (folk crafts) or animals!
Enjoy the warm flickering light of the candle as you watch the lively usagi (rabbit) hop happily around the mountains and the sea. Be sure to reuse the cup by washing the vessel with warm soapy water after the candle has finished burning.
Use the soba choko for eating soba or get creative and use it as a tea cup or small cover pot for small plants.

Candle Care:
Burn the candle for a minimum of 2 hours to experience the candle’s full aroma and effect. For 100% essential oil blends, the candles do not contain any fragrance boosting chemicals so they may take a little more time to spread their scent.
Trim wicks to 0.25"/0.6cm each time before lighting.
Make sure to burn your candle on heat resistant surfaces!
All our candle vessels are reusable for a more environmentally-friendly candle burning experience. After the candle is finished burning, simply wash the vessel with warm water and dish soap.
