Description

Known as the most expensive metal after gold and silver, tin is very malleable and flexible. Though having nearly the whiteness of silver, it does not rust easily nor will air tarnish it readily. It is significantly antibacterial, and also known as a material with low allergic reactivity and high heat conductivity. It has been believed that water in a tin container does not spoil, and tin removes excessive bitterness from sake and produces better taste. Because it is known to absorb impurities and purify water, tin wares allow you to enjoy liquor, meals, sweets, or flowers. Tin ware cooled in a refrigerator for 2-3 minutes will keep the dish fresh and cold. NOUSAKU uses pure tin. It is common to add other metallic materials to provide durability and facilitate cutting work, but NOUSAKU uses tin without such additives. Accumulated experience of skilled craftsmen enables us to produce these unique pieces. Holds approximately 50cc.

[Maintenance / Directions for use] -Use a cloth (sponge), clean with dishwashing liquid (neutral in pH) after use. -Do not scratch with hard brushes. -Polish with common metal polishers, tooth paste, or baking soda to restore the shine. -Do not use over a flame, as they have low melting points. -Products are not to be used in microwave ovens or inside freezers.

Description in Japanese

干支ぐい呑 巳 シルバー

毎年一つずつ増える干支のぐい呑。 富山県高岡市の伝統産業である「鋳物」の加工技術で培われた鋳造技術をもとに、本錫を用いて製作しています。錫はイオン効果が高く、水を浄化し飲み物をまろやかにするといわれています。古くから「錫の器に入れた水は腐らない」や「お酒の雑味が抜けて美味しくなる」などと言われ 酒器や茶器などに使われてきました。熱伝導率が高いので、器を冷蔵庫に入れておくと、よく冷えて冷酒にピッタリ。ぬる燗までの温度は、美味しく頂けます。 内側はシンプルでありながら、ひっくり返すと底面にはリアルな表情の干支がいます。毎年一つずつ、種類が増えていきます。ご自身やご家族の干支のぐい呑はもちろん、12年かけて全種類を集めるのも楽しみにされているお客様もいらっしゃいます。

■ 使用上の注意 及び メンテナンス -ご使用後は柔らかい布かスポンジを用いて、他の食器同様に台所用洗剤(中性)で洗ってください。 -硬いたわし等でこすらないでください。また、柔らかく傷つきやすいため、クレンザーでの研磨もしないでください。 -光沢が鈍くなってきた時は市販の金属磨きや歯磨き粉、重曹などで磨くと光沢が戻ります。 -融点が低いため、直火にかけないでください。 -電子レンジではご使用になれません。 -ティンペストの原因となるため、冷凍庫には入れないでください。 -食洗機や乾燥機には入れないでください。
