How do you say "Please drink from me" in Japanese? I'm making a series of ceramic chawan and also water jugs. I've planned to write the phrase on the wares in hiragana, maybe in romaji and in kanji or just in the modern japanese writing system. please help

I agree with Michinoku and Flemming.. I think they are giving you the idea on changing some words..
Twikfat suggestion, sounds good if you want to stay on that phrase. when it in English and no need to change it to Japanese phrase, it can be accepted as there are many T-shirt printed in English that they think is cute but to others...I don't think so..I heard comments about this before,,,it's not new to me.
why don't you try making one and show it as sample to Japanese and hear what they gonna say..take pictue if you can..

Okay if you write that in Japanese its VERY tacky. Have you been to Japan?? The things that sell have an English phrase on the side. "Please drink from me" in english is perfect. Its quick and cute. TRUST ME! you should keep it in English. I live in japan and I see that kind of stuff every day.

I agree with Michinoku too. How about those?
"kono chawan (jug) de non-de kudasai(ãã®è¶ç¢ã§é£²ãã§ãã ããï¼---"drink with this chawan"
or
"kore de non-de kudasai(ããã§é£²ãã§ãã ããï¼---"drink with this"
Well, even so, it sounds a bit strange. Sorry!

Ah, for chawan. I thought it was something kinky. Imagine my disappointment. Like flemming says, "Watashi kara nonde".
