It seems they went out of business in 2013, so it is a rare item. Made of materials that do not release "environmental hormones," ceramics have no worries about the leaching of chemicals, and are safe and secure for handmade foods with zero "additives." • This is a ceramic container perfect for making pickled plums, pickles, and miso. Also ideal for commercial use in yakitori (grilled chicken skewer) and yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurants as a sauce pot! • Ceramic containers have little concern about the leaching of chemicals, and are ceramic containers that can safely and securely store handmade foods with zero additives. • Because it is a material that is not easily affected by temperature changes, it can keep food clean compared to other products, and it protects food from numerous harmful microorganisms, so you can use it with confidence for a long time. • Hisamatsu's ceramic pickle barrels are well-fired and glazed, and do not cause crazing.
