Keep freshly steamed rice at its best with the Wooden Storage Bowl for Cooked Rice, known as ohitsu in Japan. Made from natural sawara cypress, this traditional vessel gently absorbs excess moisture, helping rice remain light, fluffy, and pleasantly textured even after cooking is complete. The wood’s subtle fragrance adds a comforting touch, elevating the simple act of serving rice.

The lid, crafted from aromatic hinoki, is finished with a water-repellent silicone coating for easy care while preserving the beauty of the natural grain. Stainless steel bands reinforce the structure, set into carved grooves that prevent slipping and add a refined detail to the design. Functional yet elegant, it blends heritage craftsmanship with thoughtful modern touches.

Ideal for everyday meals, sushi preparation, or serving rice at the table, this ohitsu enhances both flavor and presentation, bringing quiet authenticity and timeless charm to your kitchen.

Please note: the rice paddle is not included and is sold separately.

FAQ

Does the wooden rice storage box come with a rice paddle?

No, the ohitsu is sold as the box and lid only. The wooden rice paddle (shamoji) shown in some lifestyle photos is a separate product. For the best match, please also purchase our Hinoki Rice Paddle — the same hinoki cypress pairs beautifully with the ohitsu and complements the natural wood grain. Each product page lists exactly what is included.

Can I add a gift message to my order?

Yes. You may add a personalized gift message of up to 250 characters at checkout — it is printed on a card and included inside the package. Prices and order details are never shown on the card or anywhere in the shipment, so the recipient sees only your message and the gift itself.

Will my order be wrapped as a gift?

Yes. Every JOC Goods order is wrapped in a traditional Japanese furoshiki cloth before shipping at no extra charge — both gifts and personal orders. If your order includes many or large items, the furoshiki may be packed inside the box rather than wrapped around them. Prices are never included in any shipment.
