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.
*Do not use for any purpose other than its intended one.
