**NAGOMI plate**The "NAGOMI plate" was born from the desire to "deliver the raw beauty of Japanese natural wood to dining tables around the world." Pursuing an unprecedented, innovative, and modern beauty, it fuses wood with transparent resin. This plate combines high design aesthetics with practicality.
**Pursuit of Beautiful Curves**By overcoming the differing properties of wood and resin, we have achieved smooth and precise curves through original grinding and polishing techniques. The form, where natural wood and transparent resin are integrated, reflects beautifully and creates a high-quality radiance.
**Precautions for Use*** Always place food on the wooden part of the plate. Avoid placing food directly on the resin part; please use a sheet or a small dish.* The heat resistance temperature of epoxy resin is approximately 60–80°C. Placing hot cups or items directly on it may cause discoloration or deformation. Please always use a coaster or mat.* Do not use in a microwave or oven. This may cause damage or deformation.
**Washing Instructions*** Do not use a dishwasher. This may cause damage.* Resin is sensitive to high temperatures; do not soak in warm water above 40°C.* Avoid soaking in water for long periods.* Using hard sponges or brushes on the resin part may cause scratches; please use a soft sponge or cloth.* Strong alkaline or acidic detergents may damage the resin surface; please use a neutral detergent.* Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other solvent-based cleaners, as they may damage the surface.
**Storage*** Store away from direct sunlight and environments with high temperature and humidity. This may cause the wood to warp or crack.
