Please use this for ozoni (New Year's mochi soup), soup, and simmered dishes. Perfect for New Year's and celebratory meals. The vermilion red color is elegant, and the shape is dignified and beautiful. It was used during the New Year's holiday, and there are slight washing scratches on the inside, but it is believed that there is no problem in using it (see photo 3). Also, one bowl has a scratch on the rim. The lacquer has peeled off, and the wood underneath is visible (see the last photo). I considered removing this, but I thought it could still be used, so I have included it. The outside of the bowl is bulging at the bottom, and the shape is beautiful. Please understand that this is a long-term storage item.
