Sanuki Lacquered Rice Container – Keeps Rice Delicious Even When Cold, Kikkō Chiseling, 21 cm, with Ladle (Serves 3-4 People)
Introducing a wooden rice container from Sanuki lacquerware.
Made by hollowing out a piece of Japanese horse chestnut wood (tochi), then applying natural lacquer through multiple layers to finish.
Due to its hollowed construction, this container has exceptional durability compared to bent or laminated ones.
Historically, rice containers were used to temporarily hold rice after cooking until it was transferred to a rice bowl.
There is a secret to keeping rice delicious in this container.
Nowadays, rice is often kept warm in the rice cooker after cooking. This can lead to the rice becoming either too crunchy or overly mushy, ruining the taste.
However, a wooden rice container helps regulate moisture. If the rice has too much moisture, the wood absorbs the excess; if too dry, the wood releases moisture, maintaining the optimal moisture level in the rice.
Thus, the rice remains at the perfect moisture level, resulting in better-tasting rice.
Moreover, because it is lacquered, the container has natural antibacterial properties, keeping the rice fresh and preventing bacterial growth, ensuring the rice always stays delicious.
Feeling that “the rice stays delicious even when cold” is not just a perception but has a scientifically proven reason.
Whether our ancestors knew this or not, in the era before rice cookers, microwaves, and refrigerators, they understood how to keep rice tasting better.
A container with both moisture-regulating and antibacterial properties is a precious legacy left by our predecessors.
The inside of the container is smoothly finished to make cleaning easy and to facilitate serving the rice, while the outside retains the warmth of the wood through chiseling, with a kikkō pattern.
Each chisel mark is meticulously crafted by artisans, demonstrating significant effort, labor, and skill.
This rice container, which incorporates all these elements, is truly a highly recommended item.
It has a capacity suitable for approximately 3-4 people.
Please note that due to the handmade nature of the wood, there may be variations in the wood grain and color.
Dimensions: Diameter 21 cm, Height (with lid) 12.5 cm
Material: Wood (hollowed out), lacquered with natural urushi lacquer.
介绍来自讃岐塗的木质饭器。
这是用栃木（トチ）の木雕刻而成的底材，
然后涂抹天然漆，反复涂刷完成的产品。
由于是雕刻的，与弯曲或拼接的饭器不同，
它具有出色的耐久性。
自古以来，前人们使用的饭器是用来在
煮饭后，将饭从锅中转移到饭碗之前
暂时放置饭的器具。
其中包含了让饭更加美味的秘密。
现代人煮饭后通常将饭放在电饭煲中保温，
这样会导致饭变得干硬，
或者反过来水分过多变得湿烂，
从而破坏了饭的美味。
然而，木质饭器能够调节水分。
如果水分过多，木头会吸收多余的水分；
如果过于干燥，木头会释放水分，
从而调节饭中的水分量。
因此，可以始终保持饭的最佳水分量，
从而使饭更加美味。
此外，由于涂有漆，具有天然的抗菌效果，
可以保持饭的新鲜。
防止细菌繁殖，使饭始终保持美味状态。
“即使冷却了，饭仍然美味”的感觉
并非是心理作用，而是有科学依据的。
虽然不确定前人是否知道这一点，
但在没有电饭煲、微波炉和冰箱的时代，
他们已经知道如何使饭更加美味。
具备水分调节功能和抗菌效果的器具，
可以说是前人留下的珍贵宝物。
内侧处理得易于清洗，饭也容易盛放，
表面则保留了木质的温暖感，采用了凿刻的
龟甲纹装饰。
每一刀都是由工匠亲手雕刻的，
可以看出比想象中更加费时、费力、技术含量更高。
这些所有的元素都凝聚在这个饭器中，
这是一个非常推荐的优质产品。
容量适合3~4人使用。
由于是手工制作的自然木材，请谅解木纹和
颜色深浅的差异。
