How to use

After cooking rice, transfer it into the Ohitsu container to keep it warm and fresh. Use the lid to cover the rice securely, preserving moisture and texture. Avoid placing the container in a dishwasher. To maintain its condition, wipe off any resinous stickiness with vinegar or ethanol liquid as needed. After use, wash the container with hot water and dry it thoroughly in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent cracking or loosening of the copper ornamentation.

Care instructions

Clean the Ohitsu container with hot water after each use, avoiding detergents or harsh chemicals. Dry it completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area to prevent wood shrinkage and damage. If resin oozes from the wood, gently wipe it with vinegar or ethanol liquid to remove stickiness. Never place the container in a dishwasher or expose it to direct sunlight or extreme heat to preserve its quality and longevity.
