Great for an amateur sushi chef
I got this as a gift. I am not a sushi expert - but I have made sushi rolls maybe 50 times since I started last January, and am pleased with this hangiri as a next step. The moisture of the rice is quickly absorbed into the wood, and the rice cools within 5 minutes of turning the rice, making it more comfortable to hold if you're impatient (read: hungry!) like me and can't wait. The area is big enough to prepare the rice for 4-5 nori sheets.
The bands around the side that look like metal are actually a thick, rounded plastic. Since it gives a cheap, knock-off appearance, I knocked off a star.
You probably already have a bamboo mat at this point, but if not, just know that this mat is thin and appears weak. You'd be better off buying one at your local grocery store's sushi bar in the deli section for approx. 3 dollars.
Not brass rings
Umm so far so good, two stars off for thinking that the rings on the rice tub were brass. The mat is a bit on the small side. Other than that it is a nice unit. I paid 30 for it a while back. Twenty is a more appropriate price.
Sushi Rice
I have used this item many times now. It works great as I can take the rice right from the cooker and prepare it for my sushi. Great if you want perfect sushi rice.
