The pinnacle of paulownia rice containers, this is a 5kg capacity container with a lacquer finish (10 coats of wiping lacquer). Lacquered rice containers are virtually nonexistent, making this quite rare! Paulownia and lacquer work well together, and their antibacterial properties are excellent. Furthermore, the surface has been coated with 10 layers of lacquer. This is a genuine, handcrafted "paulownia rice container" made by artisans. It's completely different from the cheap, thin, and gap-filled paulownia rice containers sold at home centers and shopping sites. The materials, feel, and processing methods are completely different. Paulownia excels at regulating humidity. Therefore, the humidity inside the rice container is kept constant. There's no need to put it in the refrigerator. Rice oxidizes and deteriorates when exposed to air, but this rice container has almost no gaps, which slows down deterioration, allowing you to enjoy delicious rice for longer. It can keep the deliciousness of freshly harvested rice lasting longer. The lid knob is made of keyaki (Japanese zelkova) wood. The surface is hand-finished with genuine lacquer, which not only provides antibacterial properties but also enhances the sense of luxury. ● Size Width 22cm x Depth 22cm x Height 22cm (approx. 23.3cm including knob) for 5kg ● Coating Lacquer finish (10 coats) ● Board Thickness Lid 2cm, Body 1.2cm ● Accessories Paulownia one-go measuring cup Paulownia leveling board Instruction manual ★★Follow us for a discount★★ Please check our profile #RiceContainer #Lacquer #5kg #Paulownia #Antibacterial #RiceChest #10Coats
