Each wooden hangiri bowl is unique, with natural variations in the grain and colour of Sawara cypress that give every piece its own character. Handcrafted in Japan, it brings the warmth of natural wood into your kitchen, while copper hoops add strength and understated elegance.

Its wide, shallow shape makes it easy to mix, season and cool sushi rice. The Sawara cypress helps absorb excess moisture, supporting the delicate texture and glossy finish of well-prepared rice.

This traditional sushi oke harmonises with other Japanese kitchen tools, bringing simple beauty to everyday preparation. Whether making sushi for family or sharing a meal with friends, it invites you to enjoy the care and pleasure of homemade food.
