- Each piece is handmade, so there may be slight variations in color, shape, and size from the photos. We hope you enjoy these differences as part of the unique character of each item.
- We recommend soaking the piece in warm water before serving hot food, and in cold water before serving chilled food.
- When first used, it may appear slightly powdery or white, but with each use and absorption of water, it will gradually develop a rich, smooth black finish.
- Kuro Karatsu is sensitive to acids, so please avoid using it with vinegared dishes, highly acidic fruits, dressings, etc., when you first start using it. If you wish to serve such foods, we recommend waiting until the plate has had time to absorb moisture and oils from other dishes.
