I kept this pesticide-free nuka-zuke (fermented rice bran) bed in the refrigerator. I'm selling it because we didn't develop a habit of making nukazuke at home. I thought it was really convenient because it didn't require draining. Please check the photos for the condition. It was used for a short period. As for any notable damage, as shown in photo 8, there was a small crack that I didn't notice, but it didn't affect use at all. It has been cleaned thoroughly and dried.
