Keep your rice fresh and beautifully stored with the Paulownia Wood Rice Container (6.6 lb / 3 kg), expertly handcrafted from lightweight, breathable paulownia wood. Naturally resistant to moisture and insects, paulownia has been used for generations in Japan to store rice and grains, helping preserve their flavor and texture in all seasons.
Choose from two finishes:
Natural Finish – Showcases the soft, silvery grain of untreated paulownia for a simple, organic look.
Kakishibu Finish – Treated with persimmon tannin (柿渋), a traditional Japanese coating that adds extra protection and a warm, amber hue.
Functional & Thoughtful Design
Magnetic Lid & Measuring Cup Storage Both the lid and measuring cup feature embedded magnets, allowing the cup to be placed on top of the lid or conveniently stored inside by attaching it to the underside. This keeps the cup hygienic and prevents it from getting lost. The included wooden measuring box holds 1 rice-cooker cup (about 180 ml), the same capacity as the standard cup that comes with most rice cookers.
Smart Lid Placement The lid has two grooves along the frame, allowing it to be securely hooked onto the edge of the box while scooping or refilling rice, eliminating the need to find a place to set it down.
Clear Acrylic Lid A high-clarity acrylic panel ensures easy visibility of contents, so you always know how much rice is left.
Stackable Design The 3 kg version can also be stacked to expand capacity. For example, combining three boxes allows you to store up to 8 kg of rice, making it easy to adjust storage according to your needs and kitchen space.
Eco-Friendly & Antibacterial Combining traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern functionality, this sustainable and antibacterial storage solution is perfect for any kitchen.
This container combines clear visibility, clever magnetic storage, and practical lid placement, making it both functional and elegant.
A refined, sustainable way to store everyday essentials with care.
Care: Do not wash. Wipe with a dry, lint-free cloth.
