TIKUSAN Wooden Hangiri Sushi Rice Mixing Tub Copper Band with Lid Made in Japan Made of Sawara Cypress Sushi Rice Bowl Sushi Oke (30cm)

Description

A sushi tub made out of durable Japanese cypress wood and produced by Japanese craftsmen. The wooden material absorbs just the right amount of moisture from the rice. This ensures the sushi rice does not get soggy and helps achieve desired fluffiness. The outer bands are sturdy and made of copper. This tub is used to mix rice and vinegar when making rice for sushi. It can be used for making sushi or as a nice container for chirashi sushi. Moistening the tub with water before use will prevent the rice from sticking to the tub. Sawara cypress wood produces a very pleasant aroma and will stimulate the appetite when combined with the flavor of vinegar. Furthermore, the fine grain of this wood prevents it from shrinking after drying. Product has been treated to increase durability and strengthen resistance to water, moisture, and acidic substances.
