For Mio-sama only - Iwadeyama Shinotake Zaru Rice Washing Basket (5-go capacity, handmade) - Brand new, unused

For Mio-sama only.
During our comment exchange, someone else purchased the used item.
I apologize, but I have created a dedicated listing with only new, unused items.
Please let me know if you no longer need this.

This is a rice-washing sieve made from Shino bamboo in Iwayama, Miyagi Prefecture.
Born in a region known for delicious rice and sake, this rice-washing sieve has the bamboo's outer surface facing inward. This design allows you to wash rice without damaging the grains, a thoughtful touch from a renowned rice-producing area to ensure delicious cooked rice.
It is also recommended for draining vegetables and boiled noodles, or as a storage basket. Its breathability makes it suitable for storing root vegetables and fruits.
If you are concerned about rice grains getting stuck in the mesh when washing, please consider using it for other purposes.

New, unused.
Price non-negotiable.
