Question:
On a business visit to Japan my host gave me a vessel used in traditional Japanese restaurants for drinking Saki. It's square and made of wood, It measures 80mm by 80mm by 45 mm tall with sides 10mm thick, so it holds about 125cc of wine. It is made to an exceptionally high quality without the use of adhesives or metal fixings and is watertight. It has a Japanese inscription on one side.
What's the proper Japanese name for it, In English please I can't read Japanese.
Answer:
It's called a 'masu'. It is the square little wooden box that some restaurants put Sake in.
It is featured in this photo;
