We have also displayed Waramu's Nekotsugura at the Wakamatsu Showroom. They are a little large, but you can take them home with you on the spot.

[Nodate] The other day, a friend of mine from Denmark came to visit me in Kyoto. She loves Japanese culture and tea, so I offered her a “nodate” (outdoor tea ceremony) at the Kamogawa River, which she greatly enjoyed.
My mother loves her Chinese Seiro. When I went home the other day, she defrosted frozen sekihan (red bean rice) in the seiro. It contained just the right amount of moisture and tasted just like freshly cooked rice.
