Fluffy rice for one person

This is a rice container made by craftsmen from solid domestic natural wood. It is hard to make elaborate side dishes and bento every day, but more and more people are taking cooked rice out to eat, thinking about their health and saving money. Having a rice container or bento box is a habit that is kind to the earth, as it does not use disposable plastic wrap like rice balls.

The good thing about this uniquely named one-person rice container is that wood has excellent moisture-regulating properties. Even if you leave it overnight, the rice will remain chewy and fluffy like freshly cooked rice. This is a high-quality wooden item that is especially recommended for those who want a wooden lunch box but are not confident in how to handle it.

The goodness you can see when you use it

Some products require a little care because solid natural wood cannot be washed with dishwashing detergent. Since it is a tool that you will use every day during your busy schedule, you should also place importance on durability and ease of maintenance. This personal rice container is easy to handle while retaining the moisture-regulating effect of wood by omitting the process of sealing. It can be washed gently with detergent as usual, and since it has no corners, it can be wiped smoothly with a cloth, making it easy to care for.

Of course, it can also be used as a lunch box. The appearance of the lunch box depends on the side dishes and the arrangement of small details, but it is strange that if the container is good, anything you put in it looks delicious. It can hold side dishes with little liquid, making it ideal for rice bowls. It brings out the deliciousness of plump rice. The lid can also be used as a plate, so it is recommended to use it as a tray with side dishes and snacks on it.

At first glance, it looks compact, but the capacity is a generous 600ml. If you prepare side dishes separately, it will be enough to satisfy even adult men who eat a lot of rice. The fit when you hold it is unique to a wooden lunch box, and the smooth and silky texture is so enchanting.

A personal rice container that will make making lunches and meals more enjoyable and help you save money. Available in matte and smooth natural colors. Comes in a decorative box, so it is also a great gift for birthdays, moving, school entrance, and new life.

Traditional Crafts - Yamanaka Lacquerware

Yamanaka lacquerware, which has been around for 400 years since the Azuchi-Momoyama period, is characterized by a wood cutting method called "vertical wood." By using wood cut into rings, it is not only durable, but also has beautiful annual rings. In order to make the most of this wood grain, it is applied with "wiped lacquer," which involves repeatedly applying and wiping off raw lacquer, imprinting the lacquer while leaving the pattern of the wood. It takes about three months to complete one piece.

Wiped lacquer does not hide the wood, so advanced cutting techniques are required. SHIRASAGI is a company that uses primitive "electric potter's wheel" and "woodworking lathe" to finish domestic wood and create genuine, serious Made in Japan products.

High quality is more accessible

Among the three lacquerware production areas known as "Yamanaka for woodwork," "Wajima for lacquerware," and "Kanazawa for lacquerware," Shirasagi Mokko in Yamanaka boasts the top technology in lathe turning in Japan. Lacquerware is usually made by dividing up the work, but by using a unique style that is integrated from purchasing raw wood to processing, they have improved the quality and now hold a 50% share of Yamanaka lacquerware processing. This style is imbued with the maker's desire to deliver high-quality tableware that is worth more than the price to those who want to use it.

For many years, they have been manufacturing bowl products for many famous brands, but in 1997 they began developing original products using the technology they had cultivated up to that point. The third generation owner launched their own brand, SHIRASAGI, and is committed to making tableware that can be used as everyday items.

SHIRASAGI is a brand that embodies the skills and traditions of artisans. It is a special item that will add color to your daily life, so please choose it not only for yourself, but also as a gift for a special person.
