Pour in your favorite hot drink — and hidden cats appear.
This beautifully crafted mug from Mino, Japan features heat-sensitive glaze technology. At room temperature, the surface shows a mysterious black silhouette. Pour in any drink above 45°C (113°F) — coffee, tea, matcha — and a vivid, colorful cat illustration magically reveals itself.
Cool down. The cats disappear. The magic repeats, every single time.
