The Hinoki Onigiri Mold is a beautiful wooden kit to make medium sized (5.5cm / 2.2" tall) Japanese rice balls with ease and elegance.

About Hinoki Wood:

Hinoki is a type of Japanese cedar wood. It is known to have natural antimicrobial qualities and absorbs excess moisture from food, making it taste better.
Hinoki is used extensively for food containers, bento boxes (see our Magewappa bento boxes), and even traditional bathtubs.

How to use:
Rinse mold with water (prevents rice from sticking).
Pack Japanese short grain rice into the openings.
Make a shallow indentation in the center of the rice, and add a bit of filling of your choice (such as salmon, umeboshi, canned tuna with mayonnaise and soy sauce).
Cover with more rice, and press down firmly.
Carefully remove onigiri from mold and enjoy!

Dimensions: 17.2cm (6.7") x 7.5cm (2.9") x 3.4cm x 3.4cm (1.3")
Hand wash only. Do not soak in water for long periods of time. Wipe with a soft dry cloth after washing. Please don't use this as a cutting board for your bread, or you will damage the surface!

Unlike most onigiri molds made from plastic, this one is made from Hinoki wood (Japanese cypress). Beautiful, fragrant and sustainable.
Made with care in Mie, Japan.
Includes solid wood rectangular block with two triangular openings and a base.
