Soytun is a ceramic piece designed for the increasingly common tasting of the various forms of presentation of raw fish such as sashimi, sushi, tartar... etc. This design serves to contain soy sauce, also has a place for spicy mustard (wasabi) and finally has a part to let chopsticks when they are not used. For its manufacture, Soytun is made with enamelled stoneware, attached to a painstaking craft production. Soytun is the third project for a line of eco-design functional, called "NATURA IMITATIS", from the Latin, imitating nature.
