Keep it long, treasure it long.

feast easily

I want to go out to a party, but the time we meet varies, and it's hard to make reservations because there are so many people. Popular restaurants have time restrictions. For this reason, large gatherings always have to be at the same restaurant, or there are small babies, so family restaurants and major chains are safe when thinking about children. There are various reasons for large gatherings.

A casual home party without worrying about time or the people around you is fun because everyone cooks together and brings food, but the menu can become monotonous after frequent meetings. This is a convenient sushi mold that can be used for birthdays, celebrations, guests, home parties, and even ingredients in the refrigerator, as it can look more festive by changing the utensils.

It may have been used often on special days at home since ancient times, but we have prepared 5 types of molds that are convenient for everyday bento and school events such as sports days. It doesn't take much time to prepare colorful pressed sushi, so it's easy to enjoy pressed sushi and rice ball molds with various ingredients.

Tools for enjoying food

Sushi mold - pressed sushi This mold allows you to easily make beautiful pressed sushi just by putting the ingredients in the mold. The parts are divided into a box, a base, and a board to press down from above. You can easily make pressed sushi by laying out the rice and ingredients and pressing it down firmly with the board, so you can easily make a gorgeous menu at home for a weekend home party or a special day. Unlike plastic tools, it has a good atmosphere, and you can enjoy the flavor it develops as you use it.

Pressed sushi - seven pieces
This mold is convenient because it can be easily cut along the cuts. Since it is made of wood, it looks good, so it can be served directly on the table, and it creates a little performance-like excitement at a gathering.

Yamaichi's triangular rice ball mold
When making multiple rice balls, it is surprisingly difficult to make them all the same size and shape. Also, when you hold freshly cooked, hot rice, you might accidentally burn your palm, so this is a safe option.
For lunch boxes, late-night snacks, or for kids who come home hungry from school. It's just the right size for preparing a quick onigiri, and it comes out in a neat shape just like regular onigiri or onigiri bought at the store. It's easy to make onigiri, so you can get delicious rice with various ingredients and enjoy an onigiri party with this shape.

Polished bamboo rolling mat
There are plastic and silicone ones, but a bamboo strip rolling mat has a different feel and is a different tool to hold. A rolling mat made by carefully stringing each bamboo strip with string is characterized by its moderate elasticity and feel, making it easy to roll, and is one of the essential tools for making rolled sushi.
In addition to rolled sushi, it is also easy to make rod-shaped nori rolls like ehomaki. It is also useful for draining spinach and chrysanthemum. It is also useful for shaping rolled omelets, which are often included in lunch boxes.

A production area of ​​high-quality timber

The land of Shinshu Kiso is lined with deep mountains where large, old trees still grow. The Kiso Five Trees, which are produced in this area and represent the Kiso Valley, are called "hinoki," "sawara," "nezuko," "asunaro," and "koyamaki," and are called the Kiso Five Trees. In particular, "Kiso hinoki," which is said to be one of the three most beautiful forests in Japan, is treated as the highest quality building material and has been carefully cultivated since ancient times. "Kiso hinoki" is still used during the shrine relocation ceremony of the Inner Shrine of Ise Grand Shrine, which is held once every 20 years, and many other shrines and temples are also built using "Kiso hinoki" as the main material. The blessed soil and harsh climate produce a lot of high-quality timber, and skilled craftsmen gather in this production area of ​​high-quality timber, and many woodworking products have been produced there since the Edo period.

The brand Yamaichi believes that "real tools, unlike disposable mass-produced items, will blend into our lives as we continue to use them, and become indispensable to our lives."

Work that can only be done with wood

The Kiso region has a steeply sloping terrain and a harsh climate, so it takes a long time for trees to grow, but wood grown in a harsh environment is very strong and has the qualities to be used for a long time. And while many mass-produced products are being shifted to China using wood of unknown origin, Yamaichi uses Kiso sawara and hinoki, carefully selected from the center (heartwood) of trees that are over 100 years old. In pursuit of things that are nice to have wood and things that can only be done with wood, we handle products ranging from traditional products such as rice containers and hand buckets to products that fit into modern life such as cutting boards.
