This is a ceramic rice container, size 2, made by Mr. Kushimoto, a Banko-yaki potter from Yokkaichi. This ceramic rice container (for 2 cups of rice) revives stored rice to the taste of freshly cooked rice in the microwave. It has a handle, making it easy to carry. It's a safe and reliable product, made in Japan (Banko-yaki)! Here are four recommended points: 1) Deliciously preserves rice Made of ceramic using porous heat-resistant clay, this rice container absorbs excess moisture from the rice, preventing it from becoming sticky. 2) Revives refrigerated and frozen rice This rice container returns moisture to the rice when heated, so even rice stored in the refrigerator or freezer will taste like freshly cooked rice when warmed in the microwave. 3) Easy to carry It has a handle, making it easy to carry and significantly reducing the risk of slipping and breaking. 4) Direct flame OK It's safe for direct flame, so you can use it for simple cooking, such as making rice porridge with leftover rice.
