Hinoki Wood Onigiri Mold, Japan

Crafted from hinoki, a fragrant Japanese cypress, this traditional wooden mold shapes rice into beautifully defined onigiri. Available in the classic triangular form as well as pine, bamboo, and plum motifs, each design reflects a thoughtful balance of utility and Japanese culinary tradition. The natural wood absorbs excess moisture from the rice, helping create a smooth, well-formed surface while preserving its delicate texture.

Care: Wash with cold water, wipe dry, and hang in a shaded, well-ventilated area until completely dry. Avoid prolonged soaking and direct sunlight, which may cause warping or cracking. Store in a dry place to prevent mold.
