Know before you buy
Kiri wood is naturally lightweight and moisture-resistant, which helps keep rice dry and prevents clumping. Additionally, the wood contains natural tannins that act as a mild, chemical-free deterrent against insects.
Because Kiri wood is porous, you should avoid submerging the box in water. To clean, simply wipe the interior and exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth and ensure it is completely air-dried before refilling.
The 5kg capacity is based on standard white rice. Depending on the grain size and density of specialty rices like brown or wild rice, the total weight capacity may vary slightly.
The traditional nail-free joinery allows the wood to expand and contract naturally with changes in humidity without cracking or warping. This artisanal technique ensures the box remains durable and airtight over many years of use.
While designed specifically for rice, the box is suitable for other dry grains like barley, millet, or quinoa. Just ensure the contents are completely dry before storage to maintain the integrity of the wood.
