This is a brand new, unused 3kg kiri (paulownia wood) rice container, finished with persimmon tannin. Highly recommended for storing freshly harvested rice. Each one is handcrafted by artisans, a genuine "kiri rice container." This is completely different from the flimsy, insect-prone, low-quality rice containers made with cheap materials sold at home centers and shopping sites, rice containers with unnecessarily elaborate designs, mass-produced kiri rice containers with rough, sandpapered surfaces and numerous gaps, and those with measuring mechanisms that have many gaps, allowing moisture and pests to enter freely. Kiri excels at regulating humidity. Therefore, the humidity inside the rice container is kept constant. There's 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 minimizing air exposure, which slows down oxidation and deterioration, allowing you to enjoy delicious rice for a longer time. The lid knob is made of keyaki (Japanese zelkova) wood, adding 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 knob) for 3kg (maximum 3.5kg) ●Board Thickness Lid 2cm, Body 1.2cm ●Finish Persimmon tannin coating 【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 has been used since ancient times to coat wooden tools and agricultural implements, as well as Japanese umbrellas, fans, and lacquerware. This utilizes the preservative and waterproof properties of persimmon tannin when it dries. In recent years, it has become popular for use on house timbers, as it provides insect repellent and waterproof effects, and is actually widely used in important cultural properties. *The product uses a domestic, odorless persimmon tannin. ●Accessories Kiri one-go measuring cup Kiri leveling board Instruction manual ■■■Follow discount available.
