Crafted from Japanese Sawara cypress wood (サワラ), this Hangiri sushi rice mixing tub (寿司桶) is a must-have tool for any sushi restaurant or home chef seeking authentic sushi rice preparation. The 13 inches (33 cm) diameter and 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) height offer the perfect size for mixing sushi rice (寿司ご飯), while the copper band ensures durability. Sawara cypress is naturally resistant to mold and rot, making this traditional mixing tub ideal for professional kitchen environments that require high-quality, reliable tools.
The Hangiri works by absorbing unwanted moisture from the rice, allowing it to reach the perfect consistency every time, ensuring your sushi has the ideal texture for rolls or nigiri.
