Hisamatsu Kiln Maru Tsubo No. 2 Pickled Plum Pickling Container Jar Pottery Japanese-made jar, now scarce due to the closure of Hisamatsu, a top manufacturer of ceramic jars. Excellent acid and water resistance. Can be used for various purposes such as making miso, pickled plums, and nukazuke (fermented rice bran pickles). Since Tokoname-yaki manufacturer Hisamatsu Kiln is now closed, it is gradually becoming difficult to obtain. Why not consider purchasing this opportunity? [Material]: Pottery (Please check the size in the photos) - When making pickles, especially pickled plums, the container needs to be made of strong material because it contains a lot of salt and acid. Ceramic jars are ideal as containers for pickling because they are resistant to salt and acid. - Ceramic jars do not easily transmit the outside temperature to the inside of the jar, and the temperature change is small, so it can maintain an environment where bad bacteria are less likely to breed. - It does not easily retain odors and is easy to sterilize, so it can be kept clean. It was only used once to store finished pickled plums, and has not been used otherwise. I think it is a beautiful item in good condition, but it is only stored at home, so please consider it after understanding this. Thank you.
