Azmaya Rice Bin 5kg

Great for storage and preservation of rice, the box has a timeless, natural wood appearance. The wonderful, soft feel of the paulownia wood has a rustic quality to it that serves a useful function. Paulownia, or kiri wood, is a natural insect repellent and is a porous wood that manages moisture very well. It’s no wonder why kiri wood has been used for preservation for countless generations.  The production of this box takes place in Kasukabe City, in Saitama Prefecture. This area, famous for kiri wood crafts, constructs the rice chest using no nails or metal fittings.
