A unique plate designed as a bamboo leaf, inspired by the way "Masu sushi" is served; a type of lunchbox-style sushi sold in trains and train stations and a famous souvenir from the Toyama area in Japan - the city of craftsman NOUSAKU. The leaf plate is excellent for appetizers, deserts and sweets, and makes a beautiful accessory by its own. Due to the soft tin, the plate is malleable and can be bent and folded in different shapes, without breaking! A beautiful, interesting piece of art with a long history! 

Known as the most expensive metal after gold and silver, tin is very malleable and flexible. Though having nearly the whiteness of silver, it does not rust- or air tarnish easily. It is significantly antibacterial, just like the bamboo leaf it's shaped after, and also known as a material with low allergic reactivity and high heat conductivity. Tin ware cooled in a refrigerator for 2-3 minutes will keep its contents fresh and cold. 

<   NOUSAKU - Contemporary Japanese Metal Craft   >

NOUSAKU began metal casting in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture in 1916. Their beautiful items are based on techniques handed down over a 400 years of craftsmanship. With the aid of modern machinery, industrial technology and the cultivated wisdom of past masters, NOUSAKU achieves outstanding, innovative designs and top quality materials, while adhering to their extensive SDGs goals. Their tableware, sakeware and home decorations are made of brass, bronze and 100% tin. 

Recommended care for TIN items:
- Wash with a mild detergent using a soft sponge.
- Polish with a common metal polisher, tooth paste, or pasty baking soda to restore the shine.
- Avoid any abrasive materials, wire wool or brushes, as they may scratch the surface.
- Do not put over fire or use in microwaves, as the melting point is low.
- Refrain from storing in the refrigerator > 30 minutes or in the freezer to avoid deterioration of the material.
- Not suitable for use in dishwashing or drying machines.
- Excessive bending and changing shapes may lead to cracks and breakage of the item.
(For items with gold leaf:)
- Do not change the shape or leave an item in water, and be sure to dry it well after use, as gold leaf may flake off.
