Notes :

100% hinoki wood (Japanese Cypress)

Hinoki is known in Japan for its antibacterial properties and its very relaxing natural fragrance.
The woody scent of hinoki will make your cooking time very pleasant.

Mold maintenance:

Before making sushi, be sure to wet all the parts of the mold with water each time you use it (if the mold is dry, the rice will stick to the mold because the wood absorbs its moisture).

After use, wash by hand in lukewarm water (avoid washing with very hot water so as not to risk deforming the wood).
Hinoki is a naturally antibacterial material. Wash with a sponge without dishwashing liquid. That said, you can wash with salt or white vinegar if there remains a fishy smell, for example.

Not suitable for the dishwasher!
Before storing the mold, please ensure that each piece is dried in the open air in a ventilated area. Sun drying will damage the wood.
