Item Details

ambai is a brand devised by Makoto Koizumi, a designer with a reputation for carefully crafting items who is involved in the design of all kinds of items related to daily life from chopsticks to architecture.
ambai items are finely crafted within Japan. An association of creators and designers make full use of regional features and skills finely toning the performance, materials, shape etc of an item. In this way, ambai aims to make items that are good for the user.

Sawara, one of the Five Sacred Trees of Kiso, is a material that is more resistant to moisture than cypress which has been used as a otoshibuta lid since ancient times. This lid stops food from falling apart while being cooked and helps for even cooking.
The edge is designed diagonally, making it easy to put in and take out of pots. The round hole can be used when drying - you can hang it on a hook etc.

[Handling Precautions]
*Sawara's characteristic resin may ooze out, but this will not effect your health at all. So use with peace of mind.
*In order to reduce sawara's distinctive smell, boil in hot water for approx. 10 minutes before use. Also, the smell will reduce as you use it.
*Avoid using a dishwasher or dryer as this may cause warping or damage.
*Do not put in the microwave.
