Product Description
A lidded rice bowl which has been handcrafted in Japan using Sawara Cypress wood following traditional techniques. Sawara cypress is highly resistant to water making it ideal to use in moist environments and perfect for kitchen use. This type of wooden bowl is traditionally used to absorb excess moisture from cooked rice, and help it cool quickly. It can also be used for serving chirashi sushi.
Available in two sizes, 27cm and 30cm

It is natural for wood resin to appear on the surface of sawara cypress wood. This resin is what also imparts a fresh cypress scent. If you are concerned about the stickiness, it can be wiped off with rubbing alcohol.
Care: Fill with water after use and use a soft brush to remove excess rice. Do not soak for prolonged periods. Dry after washing with a soft tea towel. Store in a dry area out of direct sunlight.
