Achieve perfect sushi rice with this Japanese Wooden Hangiri Sushi Rice Mixing Bowl, traditionally crafted from Sawara cypress wood (サワラ). This sushi oke (寿司桶) absorbs excess moisture, ensuring the ideal rice texture for sushi rolls and nigiri. With a 29-1/2 inches (75 cm) diameter and 6.9 inches (17.5 cm) height, this spacious Hangiri holds 36 cups of rice, making it perfect for sushi restaurants or large-scale sushi preparation. The copper band (銅製バンド) provides added strength and durability, ensuring long-lasting use.
The Sawara cypress wood naturally draws moisture from the rice, allowing it to cool and settle, while also evenly distributing seasoning. This is an essential tool for achieving the consistency and flavor required for top-quality sushi rice.
