This "ohitsu" made by "Oketaru Kobo Aki" is a masterpiece that combines traditional techniques with ingenuity that suits modern life.
Taking advantage of the moisture-regulating properties and fragrance of natural Akita cedar, it keeps freshly cooked rice even more delicious.
When you transfer the rice from the rice cooker, the moisture-absorbing properties of the Akita cedar allow the freshly cooked rice to release the moisture just right, allowing it to cool down and become fluffy and soft, bringing out the natural sweetness of the rice.
The soft feel of the wood grain, the scent of cedar, and its strong durability are also attractive features.
It doesn't harden even when cooled, making it perfect for lunch boxes or for reheating the next day. Reheating in a steamer or pot recreates the flavor of freshly cooked rice.
All of the products are handcrafted by artisans, using a technique for making tubs that makes the most of the wood's characteristics by fastening them tightly with bamboo bands.
The more you use it, the more its texture improves, and you can enjoy the changes that occur over time, which is unique to natural wood.
Enjoy fluffy, shiny rice in an "ohitsu" (rice container) from Oketaru Kobo Akino, which uses natural materials and traditional techniques to add warmth and practicality to your kitchen.
