Mosquitoes come in when you open the window to improve ventilation, so you can sell a lot of mosquitoes.

After all, if there is a lid on the top, there is a sense of security.
The lid is heavy and has a sense of stability, so if you hit it a little, it will not shift.
The shape is also very cute.

Knead pot
Kone bowls are used in the first process of soba making, such as "watering" and "kneading", but the work here is the most important tool because the work here determines the goodness of soba.
