Description
Hand-crafted Hinoki cypress rice scoop from Gifu, Japan
Hand wash; air dry upright. Cypress naturally becomes sticky in humid conditions—wipe occasionally with vinegar diluted in warm water. Do not soak or use in dishwasher. Will develop a natural patina over time. Avoid prolonged contact with wet rice in storage.
