Made in Japan using Japanese cypress, this "Japanese steamer" is carefully crafted one by one by skilled craftsmen, and comes with a cross-shaped lid. Materials: Steamer: Japanese cypress, cherry bark fasteners, Lid: Japanese cedar, Bamboo mat Diameter: Approximately 21.0cm, Body height: Approximately 10.0cm, Lid height: Approximately 3.0cm The distinctive cross-shaped lid is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also easy to remove from any direction and does not tilt when turned upside down. Steaming in a steamer uses high-temperature steam, and the wood absorbs moisture to a moderate degree, which brings out the full flavor of the ingredients. The Japanese steamer is taller than the Chinese steamer, and the heavy wooden lid traps the steam, allowing it to steam faster than the "Chinese steamer."
