Staff recommended: [Rice Container] Bring cooked rice to the table in a Shigaraki-ware 'Ohitsu' (rice tub). Shigaraki-ware 'Rice Storage Container' Put rice cooked in a rice cooker or clay pot into the 'Rice Container' and store it in the refrigerator or freezer. Just heat it in the microwave straight from storage, and the freshly cooked deliciousness revives. The secret to deliciousness is in the lid. The unglazed part on the back of the lid adjusts moisture well, preventing excess moisture, so it is stored in a delicious state. And when you want to eat it, reheat it in the microwave, and the moisture returns to the rice, making it fluffy and freshly cooked. By rethinking the 'breathing,' 'water absorption,' and 'heat storage' properties of Shigaraki-ware soil, we have maximized these characteristics through research and adjustment, maintaining appropriate moisture levels through water absorption and ventilation, and warming the body gently in the microwave. The container itself adjusts the moisture. o Microwave for about 2 minutes (refrigerated storage) o Store with the ceramic lid on and reheat as is o Eating after storing in this 'Rice Container' and reheating tastes better than using the warming function of a rice cooker. o Manufactured to hold the exact amount left over no matter how many cups are cooked (approx. 1 cup).
