The power of COBITSU, which even rice professionals are surprised by

Two mechanisms unique to Masu-shaped rice containers that revive rice frozen once


"The Ohitsu effect" maintains optimal humidity

The secret to the deliciousness of rice in traditional Japanese wooden rice containers, even when cooled, is the moisture-regulating property of wood. Wooden rice containers absorb excess steam from freshly cooked rice and, over time, release moisture, preventing the rice from becoming sticky while keeping it from drying out.
By using high-quality domestic hinoki, COBITSU achieves excellent moisture regulation similar to that of traditional rice containers.

"Steaming effect" for even, moist heating

Rice warmed in a steamer becomes fluffy and glossy as the moisture that escapes is properly returned by steam, making it as fresh as just cooked. When warming in the microwave, the moisture absorbed turns into steam and is released and filled, evenly warming the rice inside. At the same time, excess heat and steam escape through the gap between the main body and the lid, allowing it to be heated like a steamer.

Basic usage – Storage method –

First,

Just before adding rice, lightly moisten the inside of the COBITSU main body and lid, drain water, and quickly wipe off moisture with a kitchen paper or cloth.

Second,

Loosely place hot, freshly cooked rice up to about 80% full.
*As time passes after cooking, the original deliciousness may diminish.

Third,

Close the lid and secure the silicone band.

Fourth,

Immediately place in the freezer.
*The lid may slightly warp due to moisture released from the rice, but there is no problem with use.

How to enjoy

First,

Remove the silicone band, keep the lid on, and heat in the microwave at 500W for 3 to 3.5 minutes.
*Heating time varies depending on the amount of rice and microwave performance. Adjust the time according to your household microwave.
*The silicone band is not heat-resistant, so be sure to remove it.

Second,

Remove from the microwave, take off the lid, and gently loosen the rice with chopsticks or a spoon before eating.
*Caution: It will be hot, so be careful to avoid burns when removing.

Third,

After use, wash with water or use a neutral dish soap to remove dirt. COBITSU has a coating that makes rice less likely to stick, but if rice grains are stuck in the corners and hard to remove, use the included wooden spatula.
After washing, turn COBITSU upside down on a cloth or similar surface so that the main body and lid are bottom side up, and dry. *Do not soak or put in a dishwasher, as it may cause damage.
