Ohitsu Rice Holder Kiso Sawara - Large 24cm

This is just the best thing to have in a home. Made of cypress wood and a gorgeous addition to the dining table. 

Holds rice temperature perfectly and is the elegant way to hold your rice. 

Kiso Sawara is a water and high acid resistant wood making it the perfect choice for making sushi rice in. One of the "5 trees of Kiso," the craftsmen who produce these holders choose only its straight grain and hand tighten the rings in order to keep its natural shape for a lesser chance of warping.

We use this to offer our table extra steamed Jasmine rice while dining at the table.

Never place in dish washer. Use a little mineral oil once in awhile to season the wood. Store dry and clean.

Please enjoy the smell of the Kiso Sawara wood when you first open the packaging. Intoxicating.
