This is a brand new, unused 3kg kiri (paulownia wood) rice container, finished with persimmon tannin. Recommended for storing freshly harvested rice. Kiri, one of Japan's symbols, has been considered a noble wood since ancient times and has been used in various situations. Each one is handcrafted by artisans, a genuine "kiri rice container." This is completely different from the flimsy, insect-prone, low-quality rice containers sold at home centers and shopping sites, rice containers with unnecessarily elaborate designs, mass-produced kiri rice containers with rough, sandpapered surfaces and many gaps, and metered rice containers with many gaps that allow moisture and pests to enter freely. Kiri excels at regulating humidity. Therefore, the humidity inside the rice container is kept constant. There is no need to put it in the refrigerator. Also, rice oxidizes and deteriorates when exposed to air, but this rice container has almost no gaps, preventing pests from entering and making it difficult for air to reach the rice, thereby slowing down oxidation and deterioration, and allowing you to enjoy delicious rice for a longer time. The lid knob is made of keyaki (Japanese zelkova) wood, which adds an accent. *We also sell 1kg to 30kg rice containers and kiri cutting boards in various sizes. *We are selling at a low price, so please refrain from price negotiations. ●Size Width 22cm x Depth 22cm x Height 15cm (approx. 16.5cm including the knob) for 3kg (maximum 3.5kg) ●Thickness of boards Lid 2cm, Body 1.2cm ●Coating Persimmon tannin finish 【What is persimmon tannin...】 Persimmon tannin is a 100% natural liquid made by fermenting and aging the juice squeezed from unripe green persimmons. It is safe for homes with small children, with no concerns about sick building syndrome. It has waterproof and preservative effects, and since ancient times, persimmon tannin has been applied to wooden tools and agricultural tools in daily life, as well as to Japanese umbrellas, fans, and lacquerware. This takes advantage of the preservative and waterproof properties of persimmon tannin when it dries. In recent years, it has become popular for applying to wood in houses to obtain insect-repellent, preservative, and waterproof effects, and it is actually widely used in important cultural properties. *The product uses a domestic, odorless persimmon tannin. ●Accessories Kiri 1-go measuring cup Kiri leveling board Instruction manual ■■■Follow discount available.
