This rice container is made with Japanese paulownia wood, focusing on delicious rice. Paulownia wood is a material with high humidity control, so it breathes and maintains a constant internal environment. The deliciousness of rice is due to the high water content in the rice. This is why freshly harvested rice is delicious, and if the storage conditions are poor, the rice will dry out, become susceptible to insects, and lose its flavor. The reason why rice stored in a paulownia rice container is delicious lies here. This rice container has a slightly slanted bottom to make it easier to take out the rice that has accumulated at the bottom. The exterior has a burnt finish that does not show dirt easily. ● These paulownia products are all handmade by craftsmen and finished in a specialized paulownia finishing workshop in Aizu. The paulownia surface is burned with a gas burner, the soot is removed with a buffer, polishing powder is applied, and then polished with wax, the same time-consuming painting process as paulownia chests of drawers. This method is used to ensure good storage performance inside the box and to prevent dirt from use. Furthermore, it also leads to the preservation of the beauty and texture of the wood grain. As you know, wood absorbs and releases moisture even after processing, and breathes delicately. Carbonization treatment is a unique Japanese surface treatment method devised to adapt to the Japanese lifestyle, which has four seasons and temperature differences, without impairing this function. This allows for smooth humidity control inside and outside the box, and also prevents warping of the material. #IchisanShop's tableware/cutlery list #IchisanShop's cooking/kitchen supplies list #IchisanShop's interior/furniture list
