Premium Sawara Cypress Sushi Rice Storage Container - 121 fl oz (3.6L) Japanese Ohitsu Rice Jar with Anti-Crack Coating, 13" Diameter - Perfect for Sushi Restaurants, Home Chefs & Japanese Food Preservation

Product Description

Sawara cypress is very similar to the Japanese cypress (hinoki) but its aroma is not as strong, making it suitable for storing sushi rice. It is a rough grain wood with a matte finish and absorbs excess moisture from the rice to prevent sogginess and make it the perfect texture for sushi. This hand-made wooden sushi jar is elegant, practical, and perfect for high-end sushi bars.
