Inheriting the elasticity and drainage efficiency of the traditional craft “Matatabi colander,” it is designed to be more durable and user-friendly. Co-developed with culinary researcher Michiko Matsuda, it has three key features: ① Made from a soft and elastic unique material that gently and thoroughly washes rice without damaging it. By bending both ends, it can be transferred to pots or rice containers without spilling. ② Adopts a “seamless vertical slit structure” that allows for instant drainage before the rinsed water is absorbed. This minimizes the loss of rice grains through gaps and quickly drains excess moisture, allowing for a clean and quick wash. ③ The most user-friendly “23cm” size that matches the hand movements of Japanese people. It can wash up to 4 go at once, and the spacious size allows smooth hand movement within the bowl, making daily rice washing comfortable. 【Made in Japan, born in Nara】 Established in 1 932.
