After cooking your rice, transfer it into the Ohitsu container with the lid securely placed to retain heat and moisture. Use a rice paddle to serve rice directly from the container. After each use, wash the container with hot water without using soap to avoid damaging the wood. Wipe it dry with a clean cloth and allow it to air dry in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Avoid using a dishwasher or soaking the container to preserve its quality.

Clean the container with hot water immediately after use and avoid harsh detergents or soaking. Wipe the surface dry and store it in a cool, ventilated place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or cracking. If resin oozes from the wood surface, gently wipe it off using vinegar or ethanol to remove stickiness. Do not expose the container to extreme temperatures or use a dishwasher to maintain its durability and appearance.
