Description

This Kiso Sawara rice tray is a favorite among sushi chefs and other professionals. Its water and acid resistance and excellent breathability make it ideal for making vinegared rice. It absorbs excess moisture, leaving the rice fluffy and glossy. Craftsman Tagami handcrafted it from the selection of wood to the finishing touches, making it a masterpiece that grows more comfortable the more you use it. It will enhance the deliciousness and fun of family gatherings, whether you're making hand-rolled sushi or chirashi sushi.

About the workshop

About the workshop

Kiso Lumber Industry Cooperative Association, Nagano Prefecture
Mr. Tagami's products are all handmade, from the selection of wood to the finishing touches. In particular, the base boards are made from a precious part of the wood known as "honmasu," which has a straight grain and is less likely to warp. Because each piece of sawara is unique, he finishes it without using machines, repeatedly "scraping and inspecting" with a plane, carefully assessing the wood's characteristics. This technique, which takes into account future shrinkage and distortion, was mastered after seven years of training under his strict father. The artisan's discerning eye and skill are poured into creating a beautiful tool from a log.
