What It’s Like to Use
I mainly use it for barley tea and hatomugi tea.
I keep it in the fridge and drink it over a few days,
so it’s always ready to pour.
Unlike plastic containers, the taste stays clean,
without any lingering smell.
It also pours cleanly, with no drips.
When pouring, I usually hold the lid or remove it.
A clean pour, with no dripping.
Another Way to Use It
It also works well for cold-brewed dashi, such as kombu dashi.
In some Japanese kitchens, it’s prepared this way and kept in the fridge.
Closing
