On the dining table when everyone gathers

At the dining table where family and friends gather, hand-rolled sushi and handbill sushi that everyone can have a fun and enjoyable meal and make the table gorgeous. The rice bowl (sushi trough) that makes vinegared rice is indispensable for making them.

When making vinegared rice, a metal or glass bowl could be used as a substitute, but if you add vinegar according to the recipe, maybe it accumulates at the bottom of the bowl or is it too sticky or too much? You may feel that. When I reduce it, the taste is vague and I can't make the vinegared rice I had imagined.

The most important role of the Iida is to optimize the water content of the rice. This is because the tree, a natural material, breathes and adjusts the amount of rice and sushi vinegar in it. Since the bottom is wide and flat, the sushi vinegar is evenly spread over the whole rice, and you can even lift up with a fan to quickly remove excess water, creating a delicious, glossy and delicious vinegared rice that is not sticky and chewy.

Not only when making vinegared rice, handbill sushi, and mixed rice, but the use of a lid allows the tree to maintain an appropriate amount of water inside, so you can store sandwiches and rice balls without feeling dry, so it has a wide range of uses. A rice stand that can be used in. Three sizes are available: 2 go / 4 go / 6 go. For those who frequently use it as a storage container, we recommend the smaller size of 2 go, which is easy to put in and take out, and dries quickly, and the 6 go size is recommended for those who often use it at the dining table where many people gather.

High quality wood production area

A diaper made from only Kiso Sawara's grain called "Masame" which has finely parallel grain. Since straw is a soft wood that contains a lot of oil and is strong and light against water, it was used as a material for ships in the past.
In addition to the orderly beauty of wood over 100 years old, it also features the unique water resistance and acid resistance of Kiso Sawara. Because it is often exposed to water and vinegar, it is made using the characteristics of the raw materials. In addition, all wood finishes are hand-finished by craftsmen. By sharpening the surface one by one with a planer, the drainage is improved and a smooth texture is created.

The land of Shinshu Kiso is still lined with deep mountains where old trees grow. The Hinoki, Sawara, Nezuko, Asunaro and Koyamaki, which are representative of Kiso Valley and are produced in this area, are called Kiso Goki, and in particular, Kiso is said to be one of the three most beautiful forests in Japan. "Hinoki" has been treated as the finest timber of construction materials and has been carefully planted since ancient times. It is said that "Kiso Hinoki" is still used when the Ise Shrine Naiku is relocated once every 20 years, and many other shrines and temples are built using "Kiso Hinoki" as the main material. Due to the rich soil and harsh climate, many high-quality timbers have been produced, and skilled wood craftsmen have gathered in the area of ​​high-quality timber, and many woodworking products have been produced since the Edo period.

The brand, Yamaichi, thinks, "Because it is not a mass-produced product that is thrown away, but real tools can continue to be used, and it will become an indispensable part of our lives." I will.

Work that can only be done with wood

Due to the steep terrain and severe climate in the Kiso region, it takes time for trees to grow, but timber grown in harsh environments is very durable, and the wood itself has the property to be used for a long time. I will. And while many mass-produced products are shifting to Chinese production using wood of unknown origin, Yamaichi has carefully selected only the center of the tree (heartwood) that is over 100 years old. use. In pursuit of things that are nice when they are made of wood, and those that do work that can only be done with wood, we are engaged in products ranging from traditional products such as oak and pail to products that are familiar to modern life like cutting boards.
