I’ve been using this tin bowl daily for my morning tea, and the build quality is impressive. The tin feels substantial yet elegant, and it’s just the right size for a single serving. While washing it, I noticed how the material develops a nice patina over time, adding character. It’s not the cheapest option, but for authentic Japanese craftsmanship, it’s worth every penny. Reminds me of watching the northern lights—simple yet mesmerizing.
