Akihiro Nikaido Yakishime Rim Plate (White) Φ18cm H4cm, set of 2. It seems these are no longer sold, and future production is uncertain. Mr. Nikaido's works are "vessels that enjoy aging." 【Description】 Without any treatment, placing oily or strongly colored foods (such as soy sauce) directly on the plate may cause stains or discoloration. This is also part of the charm, but before using, applying grape seed oil or similar oil to the entire surface, letting it soak in for a few minutes, and then rinsing it off will make it less prone to staining. (Applying oil to yakishime ware will bring out the underlying brown color.) Also, soaking the plate in water each time before use will further reduce staining. (Staining may still occur.) The plate will gradually become familiar with use. Please enjoy the changes and appearance of the vessel.
