Hangiri: A Traditional Wooden Sushi Bowl

This Hangiri (Or Handai) Is A Wooden Sushi Bowl, Traditionally Used To Serve Nigiri/Chirashi Sushi Or To Make Vinegared Rice. Handcrafted In The Kiso Region Of Japan, This Bowl Features A Beautiful Masame (Straight-Grain) Pattern And Copper Ornamentation, Which Give It A Sophisticated Appearance.

Sawara Wood Is Used To Make Hangiri (Or Handai) And Ohitsu, Two Traditional Japanese Cooking Tools. Natural Sawara Wood Contains More Resin Than Other Types Of Wood, Making It More Water-Resistant And Durable With Natural Antibacterial Effects.

Use &Amp; Care

  • Resin Can Sometimes Ooze Out On The Surface, But It Is A Natural Ingredient And Harmless Despite Its Yellowish, Sticky And Stain-Like Appearance. You Can Remove The Stickiness By Wiping It Off With Vinegar Or Sterilizing Alcohol. Some Yellow Stains May Remain, But It Is Still Safe To Use.
  • Make Sure To Wash The Bowl Thoroughly With (Hot) Water After Use, And To Wipe And Dry It With A Dry Cloth In A Cool, Well-Ventilated Place Away From Direct Sunlight. If The Water Isn'T Wiped Off Before Drying, The Wood Will Shrink Quickly, Causing Cracks And Loosening Of The Copper Ornamentation. Mold And Black Stains May Form If It Is Left Wet For Too Long.
  • This Bowl Is Not Compatible With Dishwashers.
