When people think of titanium, they often picture aircraft, bicycles, or outdoor gear. In Japan, however, titanium has become something much more personal—a material for enjoying coffee, tea, beer, and whisky every day.

Among Japan's titanium pioneers, HORIE has earned a reputation for transforming pure titanium into elegant drinkware that combines advanced engineering with centuries of metalworking tradition.

But what makes HORIE different from other titanium brands?

Crafted in Tsubame-Sanjo, Japan's Metalworking Capital

Every HORIE titanium tumbler is produced in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture—one of Japan's most respected metalworking regions.

For more than 400 years, craftsmen in Tsubame-Sanjo have perfected techniques for shaping, polishing, and finishing metal. Today, the region is home to many internationally recognized brands, known for producing some of Japan's finest kitchenware and outdoor equipment.

HORIE continues this tradition by combining precision manufacturing with modern titanium technology, creating drinkware that is both beautiful and built to last.

Made from Pure Titanium

Unlike products that simply use a titanium coating, HORIE drinkware is made from pure titanium.

Titanium offers a unique combination of qualities:

• Extremely lightweight
• Exceptionally strong
• Naturally corrosion-resistant
• Rust-proof
• Long-lasting

Designed for everyday use, HORIE tumblers are made to accompany you for years while maintaining their performance and appearance.

Designed for the Pure Taste of Every Drink

One of titanium's greatest advantages is its neutral surface.

Unlike some metals, titanium does not easily transfer metallic odors or unwanted flavors into your drink. Whether you're enjoying freshly brewed coffee, premium Japanese tea, craft beer, sake, or whisky, the beverage's original aroma and taste remain at the center of the experience.

For those who appreciate quality drinks, the cup becomes part of the experience—not a distraction from it.

Inspired by Medical-Grade Titanium Technology

HORIE applies advanced surface treatment techniques similar to those used in medical titanium products.

This process creates a stable oxide layer that enhances durability while helping maintain a clean, hygienic surface. It also contributes to titanium's naturally hypoallergenic properties, making it an excellent choice for everyday drinkware.

The result is a cup that feels as refined as it is practical.

Naturally Colored Titanium

One of HORIE's most distinctive features is its beautiful titanium colors.

Rather than using paint or artificial coatings, many HORIE tumblers achieve their vibrant blue, gold, purple, or rainbow finishes through carefully controlled oxidation.

As light reflects from the microscopic oxide layer, it creates brilliant colors similar to those seen in butterfly wings or soap bubbles.

Because the color comes from the titanium itself, it won't peel or flake like traditional paint.

Lightweight Comfort You'll Notice Every Day

Titanium is approximately 40–45% lighter than steel while maintaining exceptional strength.

That means a HORIE tumbler feels remarkably comfortable to hold, whether you're enjoying your morning coffee, relaxing with an evening whisky, or taking it outdoors.

The lightweight construction also makes it an excellent companion for travel, camping, and everyday carry.

Japanese Craftsmanship Meets Everyday Living

HORIE believes premium craftsmanship should be enjoyed every day—not reserved for special occasions.

Every detail, from the rim and balance to the texture and finish, is carefully considered to create a drinking experience that feels natural in the hand.

The result is more than a drinking vessel; it is a piece of functional Japanese craftsmanship designed to become part of your daily routine.

A Meaningful Gift That Lasts

In Japan, titanium drinkware is often chosen as a gift to celebrate life's important milestones.

Whether for weddings, anniversaries, retirements, Father's Day, or birthdays, a handcrafted HORIE tumbler represents durability, appreciation, and timeless design.

Unlike ordinary gifts, it is meant to be used—and enjoyed—for many years.
