Although it is new and unused, I am selling it as a "defective item." I don't know what year it was made, but a relative who loves Doraemon kept it carefully for many years. Since I cannot actually test it by putting soy sauce or sauce in it, I am selling it at a bargain price. Returns and complaints will not be accepted if there are any defects. Please understand this. Please purchase only if you understand. The Doraemon on top looks a little yellow, but the product itself is in very good condition. I think it would be great for those who love Doraemon, or for children who love Doraemon to use as a kitchen item for play.
