Experience the refined art of Japanese dining with the Edohitsu by Okee. Designed to hold two to three cups of freshly cooked rice, this traditional wooden vessel regulates moisture to keep every grain at its absolute best. Its tight-fitting lid opens smoothly with precise craftsmanship, releasing a subtle, refreshing scent of natural wood into your kitchen.
Okee carries on the legacy of Edo Yuioke, a traditional bound-tub technique with seven centuries of history. Fourth-generation master craftsman Eifu Kawamata works in Tokyo, turning rare 300-year-old Kiso sawara and hinoki cypress into living art. Each piece requires at least two years and eighty individual steps to complete. The selected wood is naturally lightweight, water-resistant, and antibacterial, finished purely by polishing without paint.
In place of traditional copper bands, Okee uses nickel silver hoops made from a durable alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc. This upgrade prevents corrosion and tarnishing while adding a sophisticated contrast to the warm timber. Brand new and built to endure, this Edohitsu brings centuries of Tokyo craftsmanship straight to your dining table.
