Made of aluminum, so it's washable and hygienic. Although it's new, it was made quite a while ago, so there are minor scratches, signs of aging, stains, paint imperfections, and manufacturing flaws. Please check the photos carefully. I've washed it once, but some stains remain. Please understand that this is a used item. Made in Japan As stated in my profile, I will be gradually lowering the price, so the current price is as listed. I apologize, but thank you for your understanding. It will be sent by standard mail, so it may take some time to arrive.
