I have kept this item in storage, unused. Upon inspection for listing, I found that the cook powder and thickening powder used for cooking had deteriorated and discolored, so I discarded them. A sweet scent from the cook powder still lingers when the box is opened. The other items were all unopened and still in their original bags, so they are in good condition. The box shows signs of aging and some staining. This is a very old item. Please refrain from purchasing if you are particular about condition. This would be good for playing with dolls like Licca-chan (Licca-chan is the Japanese name for Barbie).
