This rice tray is made from Kiso Sawara, one of the "Five Woods of Kiso." [How to Use] - When using for the first time, fill the body with vinegar diluted with hot water or rice-washing water and leave for 2-3 hours to remove the bitterness. If you add water when the body is dry, some water may leak out until the wood absorbs enough water. Remove the bitterness in a sink or similar place. - Before each use, wipe the inside with a tightly wrung cloth. [Care Instructions] - Wash promptly after use. To wash, use a sponge or soft, natural scrubbing brush with water or mild detergent. After washing, thoroughly wipe off any water with a dry cloth and dry in a well-ventilated area in the shade. Storing the product while wet can cause discoloration and mold. - After washing, wipe off any water, let it dry, and then spray it with rubbing alcohol to prevent discoloration and mold. - Once dry, store it in a paper bag or similar container in a cool, dark place. - If dirt or discoloration occurs after long-term use, clean it with a powdered cleanser. - If the hoops become loose, carefully return them to their original position, taking care not to injure yourself on the edges. Fill the product with water and leave it for a while. This will allow the wood to expand and tighten the hoops. [Precautions for use] - Do not use for purposes other than intended. - Do not dry at high temperatures, such as in direct sunlight or in a dishwasher. This may cause the wood to shrink, crack, deform, or loosen the bands. - Do not heat in a microwave. Also, do not store in the refrigerator. - The wood will have a woody scent when you first use it, but the scent will fade with use. If you find the scent too strong, wash and dry it several times. - Do not use bleach. [For long-term use] - Thoroughly wiping off water after washing will prevent black stains and mold from forming. Also, if it dries out too much, the wood will shrink and deform, and the bands will become loose, so store it in a cool, dark place. - Storing it in a sealed paper bag will cause resin to develop, so store it in a bag that allows air to circulate, such as a paper bag.
