Authentic Korean Bangjja Yugi Whiskey Goblet Set (2P) - Handcrafted Brassware

"Experience the refined beauty of Authentic Korean Bangjja Yugi with this whiskey goblet set, handcrafted using traditional Korean brassware techniques that have been preserved for generations."

The Art of the Golden Ratio This whiskey goblet set is made of Bangjja Yugi, a specific type of Korean bronzeware crafted with a precise alloy of 78% copper and 22% tin. This "golden ratio" has been used for centuries in Korea to create durable, beautiful, and functional tableware. Each piece is produced in Geochang, a region famous for its long-standing dedication to authentic Yugi craftsmanship.

Naturally Clean and Safe Beyond its warm golden glow, Authentic Korean Bangjja Yugi is known for its natural antibacterial properties. Our products are tested and certified free from harmful substances such as lead and cadmium. It is a material that prioritizes both health and aesthetics, offering a clean tasting experience for your finest spirits.

Designed for the Modern Whiskey Lover While rooted in tradition, these goblets are designed for the contemporary home bar. The solid weight of the brass provides a comfortable grip, and the material’s thermal conductivity helps maintain your drink's temperature. Over time, the surface will develop a unique patina, a natural characteristic of high-quality brass that tells the story of your usage.

A Meaningful Gift This set is an excellent choice for those who appreciate handmade quality and cultural depth.

• Optional Service: For an even more special presentation, you may add traditional Korean Bojagi (cloth) wrapping and a dedicated gift bag.
  

CARE & USAGE GUIDE

HOW TO USE

• Initial Use: Upon first use, you may notice small spots (such as marks from hot rice). This is a natural reaction to variations in temperature and humidity. With regular use, the piece will gradually develop the deep, consistent golden patina unique to authentic bronzeware.

• Storage: After washing, immediately wipe with a dry cloth to remove all moisture. Storing the product while bone-dry prevents water stains and mineral buildup.

PRECAUTIONS

• Discoloration: Exposure to strong acids, high sodium, open flames, or chemical agents may cause the surface to darken. This is a natural chemical reaction and is completely harmless to the human body.

• Handcrafted Nature: As these are handcrafted items, slight variations in weight and size may occur. Specific cooking utensils may also have slight variations in the copper-to-tin alloy ratio.

• No Boiling Required: Yugi (Korean bronzeware) possesses inherent self-sterilizing properties, so there is no need to boil it for disinfection.

• Heat Restrictions: Do not use in microwave ovens, traditional ovens, or rice cookers.

• Dishwasher Safety: If using a dishwasher, we recommend a wash cycle below 60°C (140°F).

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

• Recommended Method: Hand washing is highly recommended, as dishwashers may not effectively remove all surface stains.

• Abrasive Warning: Avoid using steel wool or metal scrubbers, as they can scratch and dull the surface. Please use a soft sponge for regular cleaning.

• Lacquered Bronzeware: For lacquered Yugi, use only a soft cloth. Abrasive sponges will damage or peel the lacquer coating.

What does "Bangjja" actually mean?

To master craftsmen, Bangjja refers to the purity of the alloy rather than just the manufacturing method. It represents high-quality bronze made from the "golden ratio" of copper and tin. While the term became widely registered and recognized in the 1960s, it has always stood for premium-grade brassware that is built to last.

Will the color of the Yugi change over time?

Like all natural metals, Yugi develops a unique patina over time. However, you can maintain its original golden luster with proper care. To prevent discoloration:

• Always dry thoroughly after washing to remove moisture.

• Avoid long-term storage of highly acidic or salty foods.

• Keep away from strong gases or chemical pollutants.
  

Why are there slight inconsistencies between products?

Every piece of Geochang Yugi is a unique, handcrafted work of art. Because they are not mass-produced by machines, slight variations in weight, size, and shape are natural hallmarks of the artisanal process. We take great pride in these subtle differences, as they prove the authentic, handmade nature of your set.

Is "Green Rust" (Verdigris) harmful to the human body?

You can use products with complete peace of mind. Geochang Yugi uses only the highest-grade materials. Authentic bronze possesses inherent self-sterilizing properties, meaning it does not require boiling or extra disinfection. Any trace amounts of oxidation are harmless; in fact, historically, these properties have been valued for their ability to keep food fresh and aid in overall hygiene.
