Heating pot Shiho-Kiku-Kiri. This sake vessel was originally used at tea ceremonies - the origin of kaiseki cuisine. The mouth of the vessel is long and narrow, allowing sake to be poured neatly. The upper part of the mouth is open, making the amount of sake visible to you.
The sake vessel is made of iron, which prevents cold sake from getting lukewarm. The sake can be chilled directly in the refrigerator and kept cool till you finish all of it. It can be heated directly over a flame too.
