Fine Ceramic Portable Straw

We want to eliminate disposable products as much as possible.

Plastic is currently a problem in the ocean, and straws are one of them. If you carry your own straw, you can raise your voice against this problem.

It took one year of development through trial and error.

It took us a long time to make this straw into a shape that can be used normally, even though it is just a tube.

This straw is made by baking. The baking process causes warping and unevenness in baking.

Since it is not possible to polish the finished product by machine, everything is done by hand by craftsmen.

The hardness is three times that of teeth, and it has passed a drop test of 30 times.

Zirconia is also used as a material for teeth, but its hardness is three times that of teeth.

It is three times harder than teeth and has passed a drop test from a height of about 1 meter.

However, it is also very durable and can be used to chip teeth if it is hit too hard against the teeth.

The set also includes a convenient carrying case and cleaning brush.

The straw fits snugly into the case and comes with a silicone cap to prevent water from leaking out after use, and a special brush for convenient cleaning.
