Wajima lacquerware is known for its durability, but depending on how it is used, scratches and dullness may occur. All purchased products can be used for a long time by repairing them, such as by repainting. If you would like to have your product repaired, please contact us at the address below.
You might think that Wajima lacquerware requires special care, but in fact, it should be treated no differently than other bowls or plates. Simply wash it with your regular dish soap and dry it on a rack. After washing, we recommend wiping off any excess water.
Wajima lacquerware is sensitive to drying, so a humid environment is required to maintain its lustrous luster. Because the air close to the ground is humid, we recommend storing it in a low place rather than on a high shelf. You can also purchase it as a decorative item, but as it will last longer in a humid environment, we recommend using it occasionally to allow it to absorb moisture.

Japanese tableware that has been used by people for a long time
When people think about what they would like to eat for their last meal, many of them probably think of rice and miso soup. Even if we turn to gourmet food, in the end, freshly cooked rice and steaming miso soup may be the ultimate treat for us Japanese.
A fluffy pile of rice in a rice bowl and warm miso soup in a soup bowl are symbols of happy daily life.
By the way, if you were to ask, "What kind of bowl do you use when drinking miso soup?", I think the majority of people would immediately answer, "bowl." Some people would probably insist that they feel comfortable drinking miso soup or clear soup only from a lacquerware bowl. No matter how much lifestyles change, it seems likely that soup bowls will never disappear from Japanese homes.
After all, soup bowls are one of the most frequently used Japanese tableware and are a basic dish that has been loved by Japanese people for a long time.
How to choose a soup bowl: things you might think you know, but surprisingly don't
Soup bowls are well known and are found in nearly 80% of ordinary households, but because they are such a common item, it can be difficult to know how to choose one. Because they lack the distinctive character of striking large plates or katakuchi bowls, they all look the same, and many households end up using something affordable.
However, soup bowls are made from a variety of materials, including ceramic and synthetic resin (plastic), in addition to lacquerware, and each has its own unique characteristics.
Whether or not you can enjoy soup in a delicious state until the very end depends on the serving dish.
For example, if you pour miso soup into a ceramic bowl like a cafe au lait bowl, the heat from the soup will be transferred to the surface of the ceramic due to its high thermal conductivity, making it difficult to hold. Even if you do manage to touch it, the weight, which is about twice that of a lacquerware bowl of the same size, is a burden, making it difficult to lift, and the soup may be lukewarm by the time you finally get to sip it.
Plastic bowls also transmit heat easily, and in this case, there is a risk that the material or synthetic resin used to paint them may be ingested into the body.
Some products have lacquerware-style finishes, with only the surface coated and the inside made of plastic.
When purchasing, we recommend that you carefully check the quality label.
When choosing food to eat, choose products made from materials that are safe for the body.
Because soup bowls are an essential part of the daily dining table, I would like many people to become connoisseurs of soup bowls.
