Know before you buy
Yes. While traditional wooden boxes require hand washing, this model features a specialized nano-coating that protects the hinoki wood, allowing it to be safely cleaned in the dishwasher.
The nano-coating acts as a protective barrier, which helps prevent the wood from absorbing oils, odors, or stains from your meals.
This box has a 520 ml capacity. It is sized perfectly for a standard portion-controlled lunch, such as a serving of rice with side dishes or a light salad.
The wood imparts a very subtle, natural fragrance that is designed to enhance the dining experience rather than alter the flavor of your food.
Because of the protective nano-coating, no special oiling or maintenance is required. Simply wash it in the dishwasher or by hand and ensure it is dry before storing.
