Product Description
A lidded sushi rice chest 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.

It is natural for wood resin to appear on the surface of the 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 (such as a tawashi) 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.
