Patent number: No. 6891361 Patent registration date: May 31, 2021 Invention name: Wooden tableware Patent holder: Nakayoshi Shoji Co., Ltd.
background
For products made from natural materials, we want to use natural coatings as well.
With this in mind, we began developing this technology.
Is it possible to make a material that is strong, repels water, feels natural to the touch, and also uses natural ingredients?
The passion of these engineers has borne fruit in the form of the LOHAS Coat.
It contains green tea ingredients that provide natural antibacterial properties, and by applying multiple layers evenly, it is stronger and can be used in dishwashers.
Patent Overview
LOHAS COAT is a proprietary coating technology that has been proven to suppress E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus through the synergistic effect of paint containing natural green tea ingredients and the phytoncides naturally found in bamboo.

All Agny tableware is produced using this new technology, LOHAS COAT, which allows us to produce tableware made from natural materials that are safer and more secure.
*We do not guarantee that the product will have a lasting effect on all bacteria.
Our proprietary six-layer coating (which complies with the Food Sanitation Act) penetrates deep into the bamboo, so you can use it without any problems even with dark-colored or oily dishes.
Our unique coating technology and careful polishing make it feel smooth to the touch.
And best of all, this technological development makes it dishwasher safe!
(Limited to use at hot water settings of 70°C or less. Dishwasher detergents containing bleach or abrasives cannot be used.)
Of course, you can wash them just like your regular dishes using a sponge and mild detergent.
