Banko Ware Microwave-Safe Single-Serving Rice Bowl Container
Enjoy fluffy, delicious rice anytime with this single-serving Banko ware rice container from TOJIKI TONYA. Designed to store leftover rice in the refrigerator and reheat it directly in the microwave, it brings cold rice back to a freshly cooked, chewy texture. Banko ware is a traditional ceramic craft from Yokkaichi City in Mie Prefecture, famous across Japan for its exceptional heat resistance and moisture-regulating qualities.
The porous clay naturally absorbs excess steam during storage and releases gentle moisture when warmed, keeping rice soft for up to two days in the fridge. Heating takes just two minutes at 500W with the lid on. You can eat right out of the container as a rice bowl, while the flat, stackable lid doubles as a small dish for side vegetables or pickles. It holds a standard single serving with a recommended capacity of 300ml and a full capacity of 520ml, measuring approximately 123mm in diameter, 75mm in height with the lid, and weighing around 470g.
This matte-finish ceramic vessel is both microwave and dishwasher safe, though it cannot be used over an open flame or inside an oven. Because the clay absorbs moisture to protect your rice, avoid soaking the container in dirty dishwater to keep it clean and odor-free. It brings quiet convenience to everyday dining, making meal prep simple and fresh.
