Description

Benihana Japan Year of the Dragon Tiki Mug Only Released During Chinese New Year
Exclusively designed for Benihana in Japan and only released once every twelve years, during the Chinese New Year of the Dragon (1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, and 2012), this is the Legendary Benihana Dragon Tiki Mug.   This pre-owned mug is in unused condition.  There is a piece of ceramic trapped inside from the original production of the piece that makes a sound when you shake the mug, but there are no chip, cracks or broken pieces.
The Benihana Dragon mug is one of the rarer Benihana "Tiki" Mugs and certainly a perennial favorite.
One of the charming and endearing features at all of the many Benihana restaurants across the country is their use of various
white ceramic figural "Tiki" mugs to serve their exotic cocktails.  These mugs come in a wide variety of highly detailed designs and one of the benefits of ordering one of Benihana's specialty drinks is that their guests can take their Tiki mug home as a souvenir of their fun visit to Benihana.  As anyone who is a fan of Tiki mugs knows, (purists would argue that these are no really true Tiki mugs because they don't depict actual Tiki idols), these little white figural cermic mugs have become highly collectible, and the Dragon is one of the most desired by Benihana collectors!
