◆Bowl◆ [Before Use] Newly painted lacquerware has a characteristic odor of lacquer and urethane paint. The odor is especially noticeable when hot food is placed in it. While individual perceptions of odor vary, please try the following methods if you are concerned about the smell: • Leave the lid open and air dry in a well-ventilated room. • Pour in hot water (around 60-70°C), stir gently, and discard several times. • Soak in rice water with a small amount of vinegar for about an hour. • Wipe with a cloth dampened with diluted vinegar. • Place in the rice container for several hours. After repeating these steps, wash with dish soap. While it won't completely eliminate the odor, it will significantly reduce it.
[Precautions for Use] • Do not use this product for purposes other than its intended use. • Before use, gently wash with a soft sponge using a household dish soap that does not contain bleach or abrasives. • Avoid using or storing near open flames or in high-temperature locations. This may cause fire, deformation, or deterioration. • Avoid storing in direct sunlight or in high-temperature, high-humidity environments. • After use, do not soak; wash promptly with dish soap, wipe off moisture with a soft cloth, and allow to air dry. * Avoid using scouring pads, abrasives, solvents, or chlorine bleach. These may cause discoloration or deterioration.

* Due to the nature of wood products, discoloration or stains may occur depending on the usage environment and conditions; this is a natural aging process.
* Because natural wood and bamboo are used, there will be individual differences in grain, color, and dimensions. Small scratches may be visible on the product surface, but this does not affect the quality; please understand this in advance.
