The unbleached cotton cloths from Ise are woven by creating a moderate space within, using a thick, single yarn that is softly twisted.

There are no worries regarding bleach residues, and as it has high breathability and water-absorbency, it is suitable in straining dashi and squeezing fruit juice.

Further, by putting in-between the body and the cover of wooden containers or pots with cooked rice, the cotton cloth would moderately absorb excess liquid. As fibers hardly remain, it is also suitable for wiping plates.
