Urushi Hangiri Kiso Sawara Rice Bowl - 36cm

Hangiris are traditionally used for seasoning sushi 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.

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 put in your warm rice.

Perfect with a wooden rice spatula for that classic look.
