可杯 -Bekuhai-

My grandparents got me “Bekuhai” as a souvenir from Japan when they visited me.

おじいちゃん、おばあちゃんが日本からのお土産に可杯を買ってきてくれました。

Do you know what "Bekuhai" is?
It is special sake cups for sake drinking game in Kochi.

高知に伝わる伝統の宴会遊び、可杯（べくはい)を知っていますか？

There are many unique shapes of cups comes with a dice which has pictures of each cup on each side of the dice. This is how you play; throw a dice and people who is pointed by a dice has to drink sake out of a cup which is showed by a dice as well.

コマを回して、そのコマが指し示したところにいる人が、コマの示す杯で日本酒を飲み干さなくてはなりません。

One is with a small hole in the bottom…so you can't put the cup down unless it is empty! You have to put your thumb over the hole to drink and finish up sake in a cup before you put it down. There is another kind of cup which has a pointed bottom. (Which you cannot put it down unless you finish either.) There are many kinds of interesting Bekuhai in Japan and drinking out of them is so much fun!

杯は長い鼻があって下に置くと酒がこぼれる「てんぐ」、口の部分に穴があいており、指でふさいでいないと酒がもれてしまう「ひょっとこ」などたくさん面白い可杯の種類があります！

I can't wait to drink sake out of them!

早く酒器を使ってお酒が飲みたいです！
