Sawara cypress is highly resistant to water making it ideal to use in moist environments and perfect for kitchen use. This type of wooden lidded chest is traditionally used to store rice after it has been cooked and before it is served. It helps remove any excess heat and steam, whilst making the rice extra tasty. It can also be used for serving chirashi sushi.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is natural for wood resin to appear on the surface of the Cypress wood.
