Benihana of Tokyo Snake Mug
|
|
From the Benihana Blog:
The only Benihana Tiki Mug that might just possibly be as rare as the famed Dragon mug, seen above, is the Snake mug! The logo on the front means Year of the Snake.

This white mug has a coiled snake on the back. The kanji on the front translates to "The Year of the Snake" and since the first Benihana restaurant opened in 1964, it is a good bet that this mug was issued on a subsequent Year of the Snake (1965, 1977, 1989, or 2001).
