The 3kg size is perfect for storing rice, beans, short pasta, etc. Recommended for celebrations, gifts, and presents. －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ This rice bin takes advantage of the properties of paulownia wood, such as insect repellency and humidity control. Each size can be stacked since they are made according to the same standard. 【Rice Storage 3kg / Kakishibu】 This rice bin is coated with Kakishibu, which makes it less likely to show dirt and matches the interior of the kitchen. The 3 kg size is just right for people who store small amounts of rice or live alone. When stacked 1 kg + 3 kg, the height becomes the same as a 5 kg Rice Storage. It is easy to understand and use when stacking white rice, brown rice, cereals, beans, and other grains in their respective Rice Storage. The high humidity control makes it suitable for storing not only grains, but also dried food, sweets, bread, pasta, tea, coffee, and so on. The lid of the Rice Storage is an airtight, four-way lid. The four-way lid is also characterized by the fact that the lid does not easily come off even if it is tipped over. The lid of the Rice Storage is made of black cherry for the handle and acrylic with high transparency for the surface. You can look inside through the acrylic part, so you can know when you need to buy more contents. This Rice Storage is packed with “functions that users would be happy to have”. Rice Storage can be stacked according to the amount of items to be stored inside for neat and tidy storage in the same place. The lids and bottoms are designed to prevent shifting when stacked, so they can be stacked without any discomfort. The two grooves on the back of the lid were designed so that the lid can be hooked onto the edge of the body when removing and replacing rice. ●How to use Put the rice directly into Paulownia Rice Storage. Then, when all the contents are gone, add new rice. (Do not add more rice before the contents are gone.) The included 1-gou Masu can be attached to the back of the lid. It has a built-in magnet to prevent it from being buried in the rice. The groove on the back of the lid is for hooking onto the edge of the body. This allows you to use the lid without placing it on the floor when replacing the rice. ●Material 　Body：Paulownia 　Lid: Paulownia wood (four-way residual lid) + Acrylic 　Handle: Black Cherry 　Masu (one cup size): Paulownia 　*The outside of the paulownia wood is colored with Kakishibu. ●Size 　w215mm × d215mm × h163mm ●Kakishibu (persimmon tannin) Kakishibu is a natural, chemical-free, nature-friendly dye and paint. It is made by maturing and fermenting the liquid squeezed from the blue fruit of astringent persimmons, which contain high levels of tannin. Kakishibu has been used since ancient times for its various antiseptic, insecticide, and antibacterial effects. By using persimmon tannin, it is possible to give paulownia wood a deeper color without compromising its performance. ●How to clean When the container is empty and you want to replace the rice, turn the unit upside down to remove the rice bran before adding new rice.Do not wipe with water, but wipe gently with a dry cloth. In order to prevent the paulownia wood from accumulating too much moisture, dry it in a well-ventilated place for about half a day in the middle of the season, so that the moisture absorbed by the paulownia wood can be released. ●Notes on use This product can be used to store not only rice, but also dried food, bread, coffee, beans, etc. However, if you put something with a strong smell in it, it may transfer to the paulownia wood. If you put powdered food directly into the container, the powder may get stuck in the grain of the wood and interfere with the humidity control, or it may get stuck in the lid and make it difficult to close. It is recommended to keep it in a bag. ※This product is not intended to extend the expiration date. It is a product that utilizes the properties of paulownia to preserve the flavor until the end. Remarks This product is handmade from natural wood. Due to the nature of the wood, there may be differences in the actual color and texture, and there may be dents and scratches. Please purchase with your understanding. ●Paulownia Characteristics Paulownia wood has a very small shrinkage rate, which means that there is little deviation or cracking in its design. It also regulates humidity as it breathes by absorbing moisture when it is humid and expelling it when it is dry. It can be used for a long time because it contains a lot of sesamin-paulonine, which inhibits the growth of insects and mold, and tannin, which is a preservative, making it suitable for storing important items. The grain of the wood is beautiful, and one of its charms is that by using it carefully, you can enjoy its change over time just as you can with leather products. ●What is ”kirihaco”? "Masudakiribako" has been manufacturing paulownia boxes in Koga City, Fukuoka Prefecture, for about 90 years. They are constantly researching the types of paulownia that can be used for the purpose of the box and the way it is assembled. And to make the box beautiful and attractive, we also develop and propose our own processing methods to make the box beautiful and attractive. As part of this process, we have been developing products as part of the "kirihaco project" with the owner of the "fukumonoshop (fukuoka life style shop)". This project is based on the concept of a "paulownia box to incorporate into your life". ●About the trading period This product will be made to order if it is not in stock at the actual store.
