Experience true Japanese art with the Japan-Inspired Hanyu Glass. Inspired by the elegance of Japan’s famous Shinto temples, a testament to skilled craftsmanship and exquisite design. Each glass is a tribute to the meticulous artistry of a culture so heavily embedded in tradition and precision.
Handmade, each glass carries its own unique story. With a slightly rounded base, the Hanyu sits solidly on any surface with the ability to be gently rotated allowing the aromas to rise from the glass towards the nose.
Over 25,000 Aussies and counting have chosen Malt & Brew
“For those who like their whisky glasses and decanters a little off-kilter, Malt & Brew is for you. Truly unique glasses with a lovely avant-garde, almost abstract shape to them.”
Japanese whiskey is known for its complexity and balance of flavours, derived from an intricate distilling process refined over centuries. Each Hanyu Glass mirrors this balance and harmony, allowing you to experience the subtleties of aroma and taste with every sip.
Packaged in a traditional ‘tomobako’ box steeped in history, each occasion becomes a ceremony. Whether a celebration or a quiet indulgence, let the Japanese-inspired Hanyu Glass provide your whisky zen.

Definitely worth the money
I ordered a set of wave glasses. A very well made glass and a good weight to it which makes my whiskey experience very enjoyable. Quality glass and very well priced.

Best gift ever
Bought these as a gift for my uncle (who is impossible to shop for) and he was so impressed and started using it immediately. We got the optional gift wrap and the whole experience was phenomenal. Arrived in only 2 days also.

Customer Reviews

This is the second time I've bought glasses from Malt + Brew. The styles are lovely and make for fantastic presents - especially now with the engraving option.
I also had a fantastic customer support experience from founder Tom, who personally saw to it that I was fully happy with my order.
Can highly recommend this business.
I bought 2 as Christmas gifts for my daughter and son-in-law and they are thrilled with them! They were looking at the others and I bet there will be purchases soon.
1st glass was a bit ordinary but without hesitation they replaced it immediately. Very happy with the service.. would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks guys for standing behind your product.
Loved the glasses, very prompt delivery, just surprised that the glasses were not clean under all the wrapping.
I think this would be a manufacturers issue.
Would order again.
I got this glass for my stepdad for Father’s Day and can’t get it out of his hands. It’s very great quality glass and packaging was very nice and clean. Very safe during transit! Do recommend tremendously!
This is the second pair of these glasses I have bought as gifts and I and the lucky recipients could not have been more delighted. The beautiful presentation, design and functionability are 5 star .
Adore..I’ve given a pair to a dear friend in the UK who simply loves them..I’ve tried to order another as I thought I’d ordered two with my last order..But now out of stock 😱..That will teach me..Love your work guys 🇦🇺✌️..
It is a beautiful thing to be held - in the hand or wherever it is the mood takes you. On a table, on a couch cushion, even on my belly. Nothing seems to unsettle it and this is what I want when it’s that time.
It sits well in the hand and seems robust. It holds a generous amount without attracting unwanted attention from one’s companion.
It is reluctant to spill a single drop but will unleash a torrent of liquid joy at your command and it will do this at any angle short of flat on your back.
In short easily the best shot glass I have ever used.
A friend (well was a friend) broke my beautiful glass so I had to replace it. I love the look and feel of the glass - it's a beautiful piece of glassware. The way it's packaged in a decorative wooden box makes it's an excellent gift for anyone. Highly recommend (just don't let your mates use it and put it in the dishwasher).
These glasses are a gift so I havn't used them but I've had a peak (beautifully wrapped by the way!) and think they are gorgeous and can't wait to give them.
