Best rectangular plates for cold food

These rectangular appetizer plates, made of 100% pure tin, are available in two surface textures: “cloth” and “cracked ice.” Before arranging salad, sashimi, carpaccio, or any other cold food of your choice on it, refrigerate the plate for a minute or two. You’ll be amazed at how good chilled appetizers taste when served on pure tin. In addition, the metal’s antibacterial properties help keep food fresh. Pure tin is extremely malleable. If you like, you can bend up one side of the plate slightly and use the bent edge as a handle.

NOUSAKU - Handed down and rooted in Takaoka.

With a history spanning some 400 years, NOUSAKU originally created traditional items such as Buddhist altar ornamentation, tea ceremony paraphernalia and vases. More recently, working in collaboration with specialist designers, the company has developed metal casting techniques to create genuinely unique, 100% pure tin interior items and tableware par excellence.

Considering the time and energy that goes into producing each high-quality piece, they are exceptionally good value. Considerably underpriced. Cliché though it is, Nousaku has thought 'outside the box', and has essentially reinvented tin. NOUSAKU products are innovative, arty and useful - a perfect combination for modern lifestyles.
