Keep freshly steamed rice at its best with the Wooden Storage Bowl for Cooked Rice, known as ohitsu in Japan. Made from natural sawara cypress, this traditional vessel gently absorbs excess moisture, helping rice remain light, fluffy, and pleasantly textured even after cooking is complete. The wood’s subtle fragrance adds a comforting touch, elevating the simple act of serving rice.

The lid, crafted from aromatic hinoki, is finished with a water-repellent silicone coating for easy care while preserving the beauty of the natural grain. Stainless steel bands reinforce the structure, set into carved grooves that prevent slipping and add a refined detail to the design. Functional yet elegant, it blends heritage craftsmanship with thoughtful modern touches.

Ideal for everyday meals, sushi preparation, or serving rice at the table, this ohitsu enhances both flavor and presentation, bringing quiet authenticity and timeless charm to your kitchen.

Please note: the rice paddle is not included and is sold separately.
