Features: Natural wood has a strong fragrance, which can reflect the traditional craft. It should be noted that the first method is to change the barrel regularly, because the natural smell of the barrel will be less and less after high temperature. In the second method, the rice is in direct contact with the barrel, so the barrel should be cleaned and disinfected and replaced regularly.
