AKOMEYA TOKYO / Masu (Measuring Cup) 5 Sho (Capacity) Stored in a cupboard. This item is completely unused, as it has never been used to scoop rice or been soaked in alcohol or water. I am selling it because I don't use it. Product Description from the official website below: This is a very fragrant rice masu made from Japanese cypress. It is recommended for measuring rice, as well as for drinking sake. * Depending on the climate and storage conditions, a unique resin may appear on the surface, but it is not harmful to the human body. * Do not use a dishwasher. Cracking or warping may occur due to over-drying. * Occasionally disinfecting it in the sun for a short time is also effective. (Do not expose it to direct sunlight for a long time. This can cause warping or, in severe cases, cracking.) * Although Japanese cypress contains a lot of antibacterial components, mold will grow if it is not dried thoroughly. * Because natural wood is used, resin may appear. If excess resin appears, soak it in hot water and wash it off.
