A bottle set includes: a bottle having an ink container capable of containing ink, and a nozzle through which the ink in the ink container can flow out; and a lid member that is attachable to and detachable from the bottle, and can cover the nozzle in a state where the lid member is attached to the bottle. An outflow port from which the ink in the ink container can flow out is formed in the nozzle, the lid member has a sealing portion that seals the outflow port in a state where the lid member is attached to the bottle, and the sealing portion is integrally formed in the lid member.
