BambooMN 10.6" Hangiri Oke Sushi Rice Cooling Bowl/Tub with 5 Pieces Sushi Making Serving Accessory Kit - Small

So far, so good! This was almost exactly what I was looking for. I don't see the need for two mats AND two paddles, but better safe than sorry in case one breaks! The mats are different, but the paddles seem the same to me.I'm a sushi addict so I figured it was probably time to learn how to make my own. After watching videos on how the rice is supposed to be made, I figured that I HAD to have this or my rice wouldn't taste as good. It wasn't difficult to use at all, but I need a lot of practice because of course it always looks easier when you watch someone else do it.I used to eat sushi at a place in town about once a week and would spend between $10-15 every time. It was time to cut back. Now each sushi roll I make probably costs me about $1.40! To be fair, though, sushi grade fish is not available to the public where I live, as it would be far too expensive to just buy one fillet instead of 15 lbs or so at a time like a restaurant does.I usually make veggie rolls with cucumber and carrots, or something similar to California rolls with imitation crab and cream cheese, or with smoked salmon. Pre-cooked seafood snacks are available at my Walmart for cheap, so it makes it simple rather than spending a lot of money on fish. By buying this you definitely will save money in the long run and it's so much fun to do with your partner or when you have friends over! For those specialty rolls with fresh fish, though, I'll just have to suck it up and go out to buy it!

Great product, just as you would see a real chef use. The size is great for at home, enough to make a batch for over 10 rolls. A must need if preparing sushi rice. Remembering that Japanese cuisine isn't all about sushi, but this is defiantly a good place to start learn about this rich culture.

Excellent item

This kit arrived as described. This is my first Hangiri and it works great.After several months of moderate use it seems to be holding up. It holds a decent amount of rice, enough for a party of 6 adults while the second batch of rice is cooking.

I'm not kidding, this product arrived containing termites. The wood was partially eaten so the product was useless, and I had to get rid of it. As if that's not enough I had make sure my kitchen was not infested. Thanks a lot for a waste of money, time and possible termite infestation.

Great. Made sushi for the first time with this! It was fun and made the process easy!

Excellent product, works great

so existed, cant wait to use this next time we make sushi. ever thing is just as pictured. will recommend to others. grate buy :)
