Description
A handmade sawara cypress lid that keeps seasoned sushi rice at serving temperature and texture.
Once the rice is mixed and fanned, a wooden lid is what stops it drying out or going cold between batches of nigiri. Sawara (Japanese cypress) is the traditional wood for rice vessels: it breathes, wicks surface moisture instead of trapping condensation, and carries a faint clean scent. The two battens on top double as handles and lift the lid off the counter when set down. Sized to match our wooden hangiri in 30, 42 and 60 cm.
- 30 cm - for the 30 cm hangiri (up to 500 g uncooked rice)
- 42 cm - for the 42 cm hangiri (up to 1,000 g)
- 60 cm - for the 60 cm hangiri (up to 2,000 g)
- Material: Sawara cypress, handmade in Japan, unfinished
- Care: Wipe dry after use, air-dry fully, never leave soaking
