A Sculptural Glass Designed to Reveal Aroma and Flavor
The PROGRESS KIWAMI is a Japanese Jewelry Glass designed for those moments when you want to slow down and truly experience what is in your glass.
Its distinctive multi-faceted form is carefully designed to enhance the aromatic experience of the drink, while the shape encourages a slower, more considered tasting experience. As whisky or another fine spirit moves within the glass, its aroma, color, and reflections become part of the ritual.
Inside, high-purity titanium interacts with light and the color of the drink to create PROGRESS's signature aurora-like visual expression—one that changes with the surrounding light, viewing angle, and what you pour.
Crafted in Shizuoka, Japan, KIWAMI brings together advanced titanium processing derived from space-development technology and meticulous Japanese craftsmanship.
The result is more than a tumbler. It is what PROGRESS calls Jewelry Glass—drinkware created to engage both the senses and the imagination.
KIWAMI — Pursuing the Ultimate
KIWAMI (極) expresses the idea of reaching an extreme, pinnacle, or ultimate state.
Throughout life, we encounter moments that demand important decisions. We commit ourselves, trust our own judgment, imagine what lies ahead, and move forward.
KIWAMI was designed around the hope that beyond the challenges only you can overcome, something meaningful awaits.
It is a glass for marking progress, determination, achievement—and the quiet moments in which you appreciate the journey.
Key Features
-
Multi-Faceted Form Designed for Aroma
The carefully calculated geometric form is designed to enrich the aromatic experience of whisky and other spirits, while its distinctive silhouette encourages you to slow down and appreciate each sip.
-
High-Purity Titanium Interior
The interior incorporates high-purity titanium, a material known for exceptional corrosion resistance and stability. Unlike more reactive metals, titanium does not readily impart a metallic character, allowing the natural character of the drink to remain at the center of the experience.
-
Aurora-Like Expressions of Light
PROGRESS uses advanced titanium-processing technology to create its distinctive optical finish. Light reflects and refracts across the titanium and glass surfaces, creating shifting colors reminiscent of an aurora.
-
Changes with Every Pour
The appearance of the glass changes depending on the surrounding light, viewing angle, and color of the drink. Amber whisky, clear spirits, and other beverages each create their own visual expression.
-
Space Technology Meets Japanese Craftsmanship
PROGRESS draws on technology developed through its satellite-related business, combining space-development expertise with the precision and attention to detail of Japanese craftsmanship.
-
Crafted in Shizuoka, Japan
Each piece is carefully produced at PROGRESS's own workshop in Shizuoka, bringing together advanced processing technology and skilled craftsmanship.
Made for Whisky & Fine Spirits
KIWAMI is particularly suited to drinks where aroma and slow appreciation are part of the experience.
Enjoy it with Japanese whisky, Scotch, bourbon, brandy, aged rum, or another favorite spirit. Its geometric form, titanium interior, and changing reflections transform a simple pour into a more deliberate drinking ritual.

Care & Important Notes
-
Each glass is individually finished, and slight variations in color, tone, texture, and appearance are natural characteristics of the product.
- The titanium finish may gradually develop subtle changes in appearance over time. These variations are part of the unique character of titanium and can be enjoyed as the piece ages.
-
The colors of the glass are created through the reflection and refraction of light rather than conventional coloring. As a result, the appearance may change depending on the lighting conditions, intensity of light, viewing angle, and surrounding environment.
- Actual colors may differ slightly from those shown on your screen due to monitor and display settings.
Handling & Care

- Keep out of reach of infants and young children.
-
Hand wash only. Do not use in a dishwasher.
- Not suitable for microwave or oven use.
- Handle with care and avoid contact or impact with other glassware or hard objects.
- Scratches or chips may weaken the glass and increase the risk of breakage.
-
