Sawara cypress is very similar to the Japanese cypress (hinoki) but its aroma is not as strong, making it suitable for storing sushi rice. It is a rough grain wood with a matte finish and absorbs excess moisture from the rice to prevent sogginess and make it the perfect texture for sushi. This hand-made wooden sushi jar is elegant, practical, and perfect for high-end sushi bars.
