Kiso Sawara "Ohitsu" Rice Container (nosebitsu)
Kiso Sawara "Ohitsu" Rice Container (nosebitsu)
Description
Ohitsu wooden tubs are traditionally used to keep cooked rice warm and refrain from it getting dry.
The wood absorbs the water and gradually releases moisture to keep the rice fluffy and delicious.
This way you can store and serve your rice effortlessly.
These Ohitsu are made from high quality Kiso Sawara Cypress, from the Kiso area. It is a durable type of wood that has antibacterial properties and adds a mild scent to your food.
Ohitsu are often seen in (sushi) restaurants and are becoming increasingly popular to use at home.
This model is available in sizes from 1.5合 (250g) to 5升 (7.5kg)
