Perfect your sushi rice with this Wooden Hangiri Sushi Rice Mixing Bowl, traditionally used in Japanese sushi preparation. Made from pine wood, this sushi oke (寿司桶) is bound with copper bands (銅製バンド) to ensure durability and provide an authentic sushi-making experience. Measuring 10.6 inches (27 cm) in diameter, this Hangiri features a large, flat surface that allows for even seasoning and cooling of sushi rice, ensuring the perfect texture and consistency every time.
The wooden tub naturally absorbs excess moisture from the rice, aiding in the preparation of sushi rice that is neither too dry nor too sticky. This makes it an essential tool for achieving the perfect balance of flavor and texture in sushi rice.
