Then I noticed that one of the less expensive items, a sake cup for $5, had what seemed to be a flaw.

"You must be bored by the talk of experts," he said joking and held out his sake cup.

Here, take this," he said, and handed me his empty sake cup.

He put his sake cup down onto the platform and stood up to excuse himself.

When that poor boy set his sake cup down on the table, his fingers were trembling.

I found him in the room, tapping his empty sake cup on the table with his one hand.

After a long moment he sighed and held out his sake cup.

The sake cups, displayed in the cupboard above, are $8.

"He - my husband says sometimes sake cups are too small."
