Shimizu Mokuzai Sawara Cypress Sushi Rice Mixing Tub (Hangiri)

This is a sushi rice mixing tub, known in Japan as a hangiri, handai or meshikiri, made by Shimizu Mokuzai from Kiso sawara cypress. It is used to mix freshly cooked rice with sushi vinegar and let it cool before shaping sushi.

We offer this tub on its own, as a set with a matching sawara lid, or as a replacement lid sold on its own. Choose from a range of sizes, and on the larger sizes choose between copper, stainless steel or twisted copper hoops.

The wood is left natural and unfinished, with no coating. It is made in Japan.
