Shiraki (unfinished wood) Nama-fune [Extra Large, Two-Tier] Soba Tool. [Extremely Rare Item]. This is a box for temporarily storing freshly made soba noodles.

I believe it's a [very rare item] that you don't often see. It appears to be a handmade, custom-ordered item crafted by a craftsman who didn't use iron nails. It has similar functionality to a paulownia tea box, with excellent moisture resistance, insect resistance, and anti-oxidation properties, helping to maintain the quality of the contents. A very convenient "Shiraki Nama-fune Extra Large" (Soba Tool) * Can also be used as a mochi (rice cake) box. Because it's unfinished wood, I've tried to avoid washing it as much as possible. I will lightly clean it by brushing and wiping it down before shipping. Therefore, it may feel powdery to the touch. Please be aware of this. Please be cautious if you have soba or wheat flour allergies. [Used Item] There is age-related deterioration (insect holes?) and discoloration. The lid has a slight warp.
