21cm Carbonized Bamboo Single Tier with Deep Chinese Includes 20 Steamer Sheets Bamboo [Yoshifuji Crafts] Steamer, Lid, Type, Steamer, (Carbonized

◆The carbonized bamboo steamers from Yoshifuji Kogeisha, which utilize traditional Japanese techniques, are characterized by their excellent mold-resistant and antibacterial properties. By carbonizing the bamboo at high temperatures, nutrients (such as sugars) inside the bamboo are broken down, making it difficult for mold and bacteria to grow. Carbonization strengthens the bamboo's structure, increasing its hardness compared to ordinary bamboo and improving its resistance to insect damage and decay. As a result, the product can be used in good condition for a longer period of time. ◆The lids of Yoshifuji Crafts' steamers are handcrafted one by one by artisans using carefully selected, the strongest part of the bamboo's outer layer. Because natural bamboo skin is used, it may not be possible to shave every piece uniformly and beautifully, but this is part of the unique texture of the natural material, and we hope you will enjoy it as a one-of-a-kind item. After using it two or three times, the color of the bamboo skin will gradually settle down. After that, the material will become more supple and even more durable, and we believe you will be able to enjoy it for a longer time than products from other companies. ◆Because each item is handmade from natural materials, there may be slight variations in size, weave, and texture. These are the warmth of the artisan's handiwork, and we hope you will enjoy the unique individuality of each product. ◆Fine cracks or "sasagure" may appear on the surface and edges of the bamboo steamer. This is a natural phenomenon caused by the characteristics of bamboo, a natural material. (For first-time use, we recommend steaming the steamer empty by placing it in a steamer pot and allowing steam to circulate throughout.) After use, rinse lightly with water and air dry in a well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight. ◆In the unlikely event that you encounter any problems with the product, please do not hesitate to contact us.
