[KaKa Department Store] Ceramic Rice Container for Refrigerators, 3-cup Capacity, Microwave Safe, Banko Ware, Made in Japan, 11-09

Because it's the Japanese staple food, we want you to enjoy it any time of the year.

Ohitsu are used as storage containers to keep rice fresh. This is an ancient Japanese wisdom.

These days, electric cookers are commonplace, and many people probably use the microwave at least once a day. However, wooden ohitsu cannot be used in the microwave.

Some people also store rice in plastic containers, but because they are airtight and don't let moisture escape, the rice will become soggy when heated in the microwave.

A must-see for busy people, such as single office workers, part-time workers, and wives raising children! Now you can prepare rice in advance and avoid the hassle.

That's where ceramic ohitsu comes in. Unlike wooden ohitsu, they can be used in the microwave, and unlike plastic containers, they allow moisture to escape just enough so the rice doesn't get soggy, allowing you to enjoy piping hot rice in the microwave any time.

Unlike wooden ohitsu, they are also mold-resistant and easy to clean.

This way, you won't have to worry about overcooking rice and can always serve freshly cooked rice at the table. (^^) You can prepare it in advance for a short trip with friends, or even have it ready for your kids or husband to enjoy in the microwave. We offer 1-3 cup sizes to suit your family's needs.
