I don't have problem paying a little more for the quality, but one of the cups from the set that I order has a black dot inside the cup, it looks like there is a fly or a piece of dirt inside the cup. The bottom of the cups are scratchy and sharp. The set also come with a very low quality box ( I am very surprise to see that there is a sticker on the box say it was made in Japan because normally I though the japanese normally produce high quality products).right after I order this set,I found a set sake set from a local liquor store for $ 25 and the quality is way better than this set I order in amazon.
