"Oko wa" (sticky rice) in a steamer. Steaming glutinous rice with sweet potatoes, wild vegetables, etc. is easy and delicious. The fluffy finish unique to a wooden and bamboo steamer is truly impressive. Japanese steamers are taller than Chinese steamers, making them convenient for steaming rice, sweet potatoes, and other ingredients. The stainless steel pot compatible with IH cooktops has a step on the inside, allowing the steamer to sit securely. Made specifically for the steamer, steam does not leak from the gaps between the steamer and the pot, allowing for thorough steaming in a short amount of time. Cherry bark is used for the fasteners, which looks good. With its sturdy construction, you can use it for a long time. The bamboo mat is removable and convenient for washing and drying. Due to the manufacturing process, there may be some scratches, dents, or cracks. Gas stoves can also be used. I am selling this because I have several steamers and haven't used this one for very long. ◾️Made in Japan, Hinoki (Japanese cypress) Japanese steamer 27cm pot set ◾️Brand: Kagoya ◾️Capacity: 1 sho (approx. 1.8 liters) ◾️Includes: Wooden lid, bamboo mat, steaming cloth ◾️Size: Maximum width of pot including handles: 34.5cm 　　　　Pot bottom diameter: 19cm 　　　　Steaming cloth: 68cm square ◾️Capacity: [Pot] approx. 3L 　　　　　　[Steamer body] approx. 1 sho (approx. 1.8 liters) 　　　　　　Pot: Stainless steel (18-0) ◾️Made in Japan ◾️Other: Wooden lid (Sawara cypress/unpainted) 　　　　　Steaming cloth (pure cotton)
