**NAGOMI plate**The "NAGOMI plate" was born from the desire to "bring the beauty of Japanese natural wood materials to dining tables around the world." Pursuing an unprecedented, novel, and modern beauty, we have fused wood with transparent resin. This plate combines high design and practicality.
**Pursuit of Beautiful Curves**Overcoming the different properties of wood and resin, we have achieved smooth and precise curves through our unique grinding and polishing techniques. The form, where natural wood and transparent resin are integrated, reflects beautifully, creating a high-quality luster.
**Product Usage Precautions*** Always serve food on the wooden part. Avoid placing food directly on the resin part; use a sheet or a small dish.* Epoxy resin has a heat resistance of approximately 60-80°C. Placing hot cups or similar items directly on it may cause discoloration or deformation. Always use a coaster or placemat.* Do not use in microwave ovens or ovens. This may cause breakage or deformation.
**Washing Instructions*** Do not use a dishwasher. This may cause breakage.* Since resin is sensitive to high temperatures, do not soak in hot water above 40°C.* Avoid prolonged immersion in water.* Use a soft sponge or cloth for the resin part, as using a hard sponge or brush may cause scratches.* Use a neutral detergent, as strong alkaline or acidic detergents may damage or scratch the resin surface.* Do not use solvent-based cleaners such as alcohol or thinner, as they may damage the surface.
**Storage Method*** Store away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and high humidity. This may cause the wood to warp or crack.
