Key Features

• This is a lid for Hangiri. Each size of the lid is compatible with the same size of Hangiri (ex. 33 cm lid with 33 cm Hangiri).
• This lid is handcrafted from Sawara wood, a prized material from the Kiso region, using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Its elegant straight-grain (Masame) pattern and refined copper fittings lend it a timeless sophistication. For centuries, Sawara has been valued in Japan for crafting essential kitchen tools such as Hangiri (Handai) and Ohitsu, earning a lasting reputation for both beauty and durability.
• With its naturally high resin content, Sawara wood stands apart from other species for its excellent water resistance and longevity. These qualities, along with its natural antibacterial properties, make it a trusted material for traditional Japanese kitchen tools.

Use & Care

• Resin may occasionally seep to the surface. This is a natural substance and is completely harmless, even though its yellowish, sticky, stain-like appearance might be misleading. Wiping it with vinegar or ethanol (sterilizing alcohol) will remove the stickiness. While some yellow discoloration might remain, it poses no safety concerns and does not affect use.
• After use, wash the lid thoroughly with hot water to remove any food residue, as this can cause black stains. Once washed, drain well, wipe with a dry cloth, and let it dry in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. If left to dry without wiping off excess moisture, the wood may shrink, leading to cracks and loosening the copper fittings. Extended dampness also speeds up mold growth and black stains.
• Do not wash in a dishwasher.
