Additional notes

  • For those concerned about repairability, photo inspections can be conducted in advance.
  • [Regarding heat resistance after repair]
    - If exposed to temperatures exceeding 100°C for an extended period, there is a possibility of the lacquer or gold coming off. Therefore, please refrain from using items intended for boiling sterilization or for use in earthenware pots.
    - Pouring hot water from a pot will not exceed 100°C, so there is no risk of the lacquer coming off due to beverages.
  • [Regarding heating in a microwave]
    Please refrain from using a microwave. Since it is gold, there is a risk of ignition, causing the surface to char or potentially damaging the microwave.
