[Tin]
Since ancient times, tin has been said to remove impurities from sake and give it a mellow flavor.
A metal that is resistant to rust and decay, tin is considered auspicious and makes a recommended gift.
Due to its high thermal conductivity, it can be used to enjoy chilled or lukewarm sake.
For an even more refreshing coldness, chill it in the refrigerator for 1-2 minutes before use.
Tin is said to have the effect of mellowing the flavor of sake, so you can enjoy comparing it with sake encased in gold leaf.
[Nosaku Materials]
Tin is the third most expensive metal after gold and silver. It has strong antibacterial properties and is resistant to oxidation.
Tin tools were used in the ancient Egyptian dynasty around 1500 BC,
and in Japan, tin treasures are stored in the Shosoin Repository.
It is also said that water stored in tin vessels will not spoil,
and that it will make alcohol taste mellower, so tin has long been used for sake and tea utensils.
Nousaku's tin is 100% pure.
While other metals are usually added to make tin harder,
Nousaku's tin contains no such metals. 100% tin is soft,
and can be easily bent by hand,
depending on the shape and thickness.
You may hear a crackling sound when bending it,
which is the sound of tin molecules rubbing against each other, called "tin cry."
Enjoy tin, which feels comfortable against the skin, in a variety of situations in your life.
