In addition, please be advised that the item will not perfectly return to its original shape once stretched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 As it is not alloyed, pure tin is hygienic and NOUSAKU\u2019s tin wares clear the Japanese Food Sanitation Act. Moreover, we have developed medical devices, taking advantage of the high antibacterial property of pure tin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 It has been said that tin enhances the flavor of Sake since the old days in Japan. Tin cup makes young red wine richer and mellower, beer head much creamier by the rough surface from the mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 Pure tin is resistant to corrosion and does not easily tarnish like silver. Same as any other materials such as porcelain, wood, cloth, tin wares will change its tone and texture as used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 It is one of the casting characteristics and occurred by the change of the temperature during the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 Brass is resistant to corrosion when treated properly and you can enjoy the great patina as time passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 It is one of the casting characteristics called pinhole, and occurred when it cooled and solidified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 Every wind chime has different sound even in the same design as every piece is handfinished by craftsmen. The sound is slightly different one by one according to the shape and the thickness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 It can be used as a small container to put anything such as keys, accessories and paper clips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 We are open to visitors from one person to group tour. Please see our Factory Tour<\/a> page for details.\n\n\n\nProduct Quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
