{"product_id":"two-tone-sakura-tokoname-yuzamashi-by-gyokko","title":"Two-Tone Sakura Yuzamashi by Gyokko (~200ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Japan water for tea is brought to a full boil first, which drives off the chlorine smell tap water carries, and then walked down to temperature rather than heated to it. Boiling water goes into the cups, and then from the cups to the yuzamashi, pausing briefly at each stop and shedding roughly 10 to 20°F at every step. By the time it reaches the kyusu it is near where sencha wants it, 155 to 175°F, and a little longer brings it to gyokuro at 120 to 140°F. No thermometer needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowl is deliberately wider than it is deep, which exposes more surface to the surrounding air and allows heat to escape quickly. A pouring lip is pinched directly into the rim, and two small lugs at the sides provide a grip once the water is no longer boiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes from Gyokko (玉光), the Tokoname workshop also known as Tamamitsu Touen, which was established in 1945.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowl holds roughly 200ml. Rinse it with hot water after use and allow it to dry completely before storing, and avoid soap and detergent, which unglazed clay absorbs and retains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece is handmade, so color and size may vary slightly from the photo. Product color may also vary slightly due to photographic lighting or monitor settings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Steeping Room","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51200419528927,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2833\/files\/TokonameSakuraYuzamashi2.jpg?v=1786715675","url":"https:\/\/www.thesteepingroom.com\/products\/two-tone-sakura-tokoname-yuzamashi-by-gyokko","provider":"The Steeping Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
