Among the color options, how does Natural differ from the other glazed colors?

When choosing HASAMI PORCELAIN tableware, one becomes curious about how care instructions vary depending on the color option. In particular, seeing the explanation that only the Natural color is unglazed makes one want to know what differences exist in actual use.
