Cypress Hinoki Oshzushi Press

A classic Japanese tool used to make oshizushi, or pressed sushi. Made from natural Hinoki wood, a type of Japanese cypress, prized for its delicate fragrance and smooth grain, this press lets you shape perfectly compact layers of rice, fish, and vegetables with ease.  Hinoki is also known for its antibacterial properties and resistance to moisture, meaning this press is naturally hygienic and will develop a beautiful patina over time.

Oshizushi, a specialty of the Kansai region, is made by gently pressing sushi rice and toppings into a mould, then slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
