The tin of Nousaku can make KAGO

Tin is the third expensive metal after gold and silver. Tin is high antibacterial effect, hard to be oxidized, and hard to cause the metal allergy.
Nousaku uses the 100% real tin. Usually, tin tableware is made by an alloy of tin and other metal material. In this way, the craftsmen are easy to make finishing. However, tin of Nousaku does not include any other materials.
100% real tin is very soft so that you can bend easily (depend on the form or thick, though). When you bend KAGO, you can hear some dull sound. This is not a sound of breaking. This sound is called “tin cry.” Tin molecule makes this sound.
You may become addicted to this sound.
The 100% tin tableware fits our hand and various life styles. Enjoy the real texture of tin.
