The Rice wine cup (Chinese: 酒杯, Template:Lang-ja) is a cup for drinking rice wine. In East Asia (China, Japan and Korea), the traditional rice wine cups are usually round, but shallow, not like the typical wine glasses found elsewhere for drinking wine.

Rice wine cups are made of stone, porcelain, metal or wood. If they are made of wood, they often use lacquerware, and float in water to be used for Winding stream parties.
