This is a tsukemono stone (pickling stone) that I used at my parents' house. I hadn't used it for a while, so I washed the surface with hot water and warm water. There are natural color variations from when I used it for pickling. I'm not an expert on tsukemono, but it seems like having two is good for adjusting the weight. * I am also selling a tsukemono stone (large) 4.3kg, so if you purchase both, I can adjust the price for a set. Tsukemono Stone (Small) Size: Diameter: Top approx. 13cm Bottom approx. 15cm Height: approx. 9cm Weight: approx. 3.4kg ★ It's heavy, so I've put it in an unused cooler bag for carrying and storage. Please discard the bag if you don't need it. ● Please understand that this is a used item before purchasing. #tsukemono stone #weight stone #cooking #handmade #saving money
