Hi,
I live in Japan.
I went to Sukiyaki restaurant at Asakusa, Japan.
Then, I found a wonderful metal cup!
When beer is filled to the cup held my fingers, the chilly feeling has spread to my fingers!!
It was my first experience of life.
So, I asked to waitress,
"What kind of metal material is used for this cup?"
It was tin!
The following youtube covers the tin cup with Sukiyaki restaurant video.
I really liked this cup, so I checked tin cup and found this cup in Amazon Japan!
Here, I summarize information about the tin cup.
Tin cup characteristics
The metal 'Tin" characteristics are the followings;
- High heat transfer ratio.
- Easy to reshape, soft metal.
- It is said that tin metal purifies water and also better taste when Sake is filled.
Kind of tin cup sold in Amazon USA
Tin is not toxic. However, lead is toxic.
Bad quality tin product may contain lead, which is harmful to human.
However, in Japan, using lead is restricted by Japanese law.
So, selecting the Japanese product is good in law control and quality, not cheap one sold outside Japan, which is not reliable.
The company name is Osaka Suzuki.
This company is based on technology back in 1679...

It's Japanese so please translate by Google function, right click.
