Not only can it be used as a long-term storage container, but you can also remove the lid and serve it directly on the dining table.
■Takada Diatomaceous Earth■ Diatomaceous earth harvested in Takada is not only known for its humidity-regulating and moisturizing properties, but also for its ability to emit negative ions and far-infrared radiation at the same rate as aquamarine and Bakuhan stone. Furthermore, it contains titanium oxide, which has excellent deodorizing, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties, and is said to purify the water placed inside, making it delicious. This lidded jar combines the techniques and materials of a professional with extensive knowledge of the characteristics of the local soil.
This is recommended not only for people living alone, but also for those who cannot live without pickles with their rice. It would make a great gift for celebrations, anniversaries, or special occasions.
