Masu that is a square shaped wooden cup which has been used for measuring
quantity of crops such as grains, rice , beans and etc. for a long time in Asia.
In Japan, however, people use it for drinking sake.
When i serve sake at our restaurant, first pour it in the glass which is in the middle of masu and let it overflow a bit into the masu. Most customers ask me, "why do you do that?"
I ask them back with my gentle smile, " Wouldn't you like extra?".
It is a courtsy that showing our generosity to the guest who is visiting our place.
None wouldn't welcome a little bonus and it would be such a pleasant moment to share sake with your loved ones.
