-Ion bottle Aya -
The ion bottle uses glaze raw earth containing radium ore, collected from Shigaraki clay, as its glaze. This radium ore features the same structural organization as the radon hot spring source attracting attention for its negative ion effect. The outstanding negative ion effects of radium ore surround the water molecules arranged around the molecules of alcohol in beverages, making the taste mellow. If water is added, the water molecules stay in constant motion due to stirring action caused by alpha rays emitted from the radium ore. This ionizes the water in the bottle to create a state like a babbling brook, for a mellow and delicious taste.
