Sanuki Lacquered Rice Container – Keeps Rice Delicious Even When Cold – Wooden Carved Rice Container (15 cm) with Ladle (for One Person)
Introducing a wooden rice container from Sanuki Lacquer.
Made from hollowed-out Japanese horse chestnut (tochi) wood, this container is finished with layers of natural lacquer applied multiple times.
Due to the hollowing process, it boasts exceptional durability compared to bent or glued pieces.
Historically, rice containers used by our ancestors were meant to temporarily hold rice after cooking until it was transferred to rice bowls.
These containers have a secret to keeping rice delicious.
In modern times, rice is often kept warm in a rice cooker after cooking. This can lead to rice becoming too crispy or too soggy, ruining its flavor.
However, a wooden rice container helps regulate moisture.
If there is excess moisture, the wood absorbs it. Conversely, if it’s too dry, the wood releases moisture, maintaining the ideal moisture level in the rice.
This ensures that rice remains at its optimal moisture level, resulting in delicious rice.
Additionally, because it is coated with lacquer, it has natural antibacterial properties that help keep the rice fresh.
By preventing bacterial growth, the rice is consistently kept in a delicious state.
The reason you feel that rice remains delicious even when cold is not just a feeling; it is scientifically proven.
While we may not know if our ancestors understood this, they certainly knew how to enjoy rice more deliciously in an era without rice cookers, microwaves, or refrigerators.
A container that combines moisture regulation with antibacterial properties can be considered a valuable treasure left by our ancestors.
The interior is designed to be easy to clean and to serve rice smoothly, finished with a flat surface, while the exterior retains the warmth of wood with a carved hexagonal pattern.
Each carving is done meticulously by artisans, showing the considerable effort, skill, and craftsmanship involved.
This rice container, packed with these qualities, is a highly recommended item.
It has a capacity suitable for approximately one serving.
Please note that due to the natural wood and handcrafted nature, there may be variations in grain and color.
Dimensions: Diameter 16 cm, Height (with lid) 9 cm
Material: Wooden (hollowed), coated with ground lacquer.
这里介绍的是讃岐漆器中的木制饭器。
它是用栃木（tochi）的木材挖空制成的底座，再经过多次涂抹天然漆而完成的。
由于是挖空制作，与弯曲或拼接的器具相比，它具有极好的耐久性。
从古代起，先人们使用的饭器是用来将煮熟的米饭在转移到饭碗之前临时存放的器具。
实际上，它有着使米饭更加美味的秘密。
在现代，人们通常会将煮好的米饭放在电饭煲中保温。
这样做可能会使米饭变得干硬，或者相反，水分过多导致米饭变得粘稠，破坏米饭的味道。
然而，木制饭器能够调节水分。
如果水分过多，木材会吸收多余的水分；如果过于干燥，木材则会释放水分，从而调节米饭中的水分量。
这样可以始终保持米饭在最佳的水分状态，使米饭更加美味。
此外，由于涂有漆，具有天然的抗菌作用，能够保持米饭的新鲜。
这可以防止细菌的滋生，从而使米饭始终保持美味状态。
“冷めても、ご飯がおいしい”这一点绝不是错觉，而是有科学依据的。
虽然我们不知道古人是否了解这一点，但他们在没有电饭煲、微波炉和冰箱的时代，已经知道了更美味享用米饭的方法。
具有水分调节功能和抗菌作用的器具，正是先人们留下的珍贵宝物。
内部经过精心处理，易于清洗和盛饭，外部则保留了木制品的温暖感，采用了凿刻工艺，形成了龟甲纹理。
每一刀刻痕都由工匠精心雕刻，足见其中投入了极大的工艺、劳力和技术。
这些精华凝聚在这款饭器中，绝对是值得推荐的优质之选。
容量约为一人份。
由于是自然木材手工制作，木纹和颜色等可能存在个体差异，请予以理解。
