* Store directly in the refrigerator, then microwave for fluffy rice.
* Rice stays fresh without becoming mushy, with a fragrance like freshly cooked rice.
* Finished with coarse Iga clay, which has high water absorbency.
Traditionally in Japan, after cooking rice, people would transfer it to an *ohitsu* (rice container), saying, "The rice from an *ohitsu* really is different."
This process enhances the sweetness of the rice and maintains a moderate level of moisture.
The *ohitsu* has been passed down as a wisdom for enjoying delicious rice.
This product is an *ohitsu* made with Iga-ware, in a small, easy-to-use shape.
The coarse Iga clay has high water absorbency, so it absorbs excess moisture.
It has been fired into a small, easy-to-handle shape to suit modern lifestyles.
The porous, coarse Iga clay is coated with a thin glaze to increase its water absorption rate, so it appropriately absorbs excess moisture that causes rice to become mushy.
Therefore, you can store it directly in the refrigerator, and simply reheat it in the microwave to revive cold rice into fluffy rice.
* If you transfer freshly cooked rice to the Iga-ware *ohitsu* and let it sit for about an hour before eating, the sweetness of the rice will be further enhanced.
It is recommended to place a Japanese tenugui (hand towel) or similar cloth between the *ohitsu* and the lid.
