*Because they are handmade and made from natural materials, each item has a different texture and color.
*When cleaning, gently wipe off the matcha with a dry cloth.
"Soot bamboo"
This bamboo material is taken from the attics and ceilings of thatched roofed houses. It has been smoked by the smoke from the hearth for over 100 years, giving it a deep and beautiful natural brown color. As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer buildings that meet these conditions, so please enjoy this rare material.
