Artisan Culinary Series | Premium Japanese Hybrid Sushi Oke / Hangiri Mixing Bowl
Master the foundational step of world-class Japanese cuisine right at home. Traditionally called a Hangiri or Sushi Oke, this authentic mixing basin is an indispensable tool for achieving the perfect glossy finish, ideal bite, and balanced flavor signature of professional sushi rice. Expertly engineered to blend classic heritage with modern durability, this hybrid model features a resilient, easy-clean polypropylene body paired with an optional traditional natural pine wood lid. Its expansive, shallow profile gives you the generous workspace needed to cut, fold, and season freshly steamed grains with sushi vinegar. The dynamic material synergy cools the rice quickly while managing moisture, keeping your rice grains beautifully separate, perfectly seasoned, and structurally intact for home sushi, donburi, or festive temaki hand-roll parties.

Premium Functional Benefits & Hybrid Kitchen Design:
- Rapid Convection Engineering: The wide, shallow circular footprint exposes a massive surface area to the air, pulling steam away from hot rice quickly so it doesn't overcook or turn mushy.
- Low-Maintenance Hybrid Body: The rugged polypropylene basin delivers the classic shape of traditional wooden vats without the risk of wood splitting, leaking, shrinking, or trapping heavy moisture.
- Authentic Protective Pine Lid: The optional raw pine wood cover absorbs excess rising steam to prevent condensation from dripping back down, keeping your prepared rice moist, soft, and ready for service.
- Effortless Rice Dressing: Smooth internal curves let you slice across the rice with a traditional paddle (shamoji) smoothly, distributing vinegar seasonings perfectly without crushing the delicate grains.
💡 Professional Sushi Seasoning & Multi-Material Care Guidelines:
• The Anti-Stick Prep Strategy: Before pouring hot rice into the basin, wipe the interior walls down with a clean towel dampened with water or a bit of sushi vinegar. This prevents sticky rice grains from bonding to the surface.
• Gentle Manual Cleaning Routine: Wash all pieces by hand using warm water, a soft kitchen sponge, and mild dish soap. Never wash the basin or wooden lid inside an automatic dishwasher, as intense heat cycles will warp the composite plastics and crack the natural wood.
• Natural Drying & Storage Protocol: After washing, towel dry immediately. Let the wooden lid finish air-drying flat in a cool, well-ventilated space out of direct sunlight. Never store the wood away while damp or leave it sealed in airtight plastic bags to avoid mold growth.
• Strict Heat Boundaries: Built exclusively for countertop mixing, cooling, and table presentation. Do not place this product in microwave ovens, conventional baking ovens, or near hot stovetop burners, as extreme temperatures can deform the structure.

How long delivery takes
Everything ships from Fukuoka, Japan. You choose between two options at checkout.
| Standard Airmail | Express Delivery (DHL / FedEx) | |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery time, from order to door | About 2 weeks | 5 to 8 business days |
| Dispatch | Standard queue | Priority dispatch |
| Tracking | Tracked and insured | Door-to-door tracking |
Express to Israel, the Gulf states and Bhutan takes about 7 business days, and about 10 business days to South America.
Express couriers need a phone number to arrange delivery and customs clearance, so please add one at checkout.
Customs checks in your country can add a few days to any of these estimates. That part is outside our control and the carrier's.
If something is wrong
Tell us. Most cases are settled by email within a day or two, and a return is often not necessary at all.
Damaged, faulty or not what you ordered
This one is on us. Email us within 14 days of delivery with your order number and a photograph of the problem, including the packaging if the parcel arrived damaged.
We will replace the item or refund it in full, shipping included. You pay nothing, and in most cases we will not ask you to send anything back.
Changed your mind
You have 14 calendar days from the day you receive your order to ask for a return. Write to us first, before sending anything back, so we can give you the return address and a reference for your parcel.
The item must come back unused, in its original packaging and in the condition it reached you. Once it arrives we inspect it and refund the price of the goods to your original payment method, usually within five working days.
Please read this before you order. Returns travel back to Japan, and you cover that cost. From North America or Europe it is rarely cheap, and on a low-value item the postage can exceed what you paid for it. The original shipping fee is not refunded either. If you are hesitating between two items, ask us before ordering rather than after. We answer quickly and we would far rather help you choose than process a return.
What cannot be returned
A change of mind does not cover the following, for reasons of hygiene, safety or customs. Faulty items are of course still covered above.
- Food, tea, matcha, confectionery and anything edible, whether opened or not
- Cosmetics and skincare once the seal is broken
- Socks and other items worn against the skin, once tried on
- Knives and blades that have been used or sharpened
- Items personalised or made to order for you
- Anything returned without contacting us first
Handmade pieces are not defective
Much of what we sell is made by hand. Variations in glaze, colour, grain and shape between two pieces of the same ceramic are the mark of the craft, not a fault, and they are described as such on the product pages. These variations are not grounds for a return under our damaged and faulty policy, though the 14-day change of mind period still applies.
Start a return
Write to us through our contact form with your order number and a line about what is wrong. We will reply with the return address and a reference to write on the parcel.
Please do not send anything back before you have that reference. Unannounced parcels are difficult to match to an order and slow the refund down considerably. We answer from Fukuoka, Japan, so allow for the time difference.
Nothing on this page affects the statutory rights you hold in your own country, which apply in addition to the policy described here.
United States
Everything is included. Nothing to pay on delivery.
All US orders ship Delivered Duty Paid. Import duties, tariffs and taxes are calculated and paid by us before your parcel leaves Japan.
The total at checkout is the total you pay. The courier will never invoice you. There is no threshold to reach and no condition to meet.
Everything we sell is shipped from Japan. When a parcel reaches your country it crosses a customs border, and at that point your own authorities may apply import duty, tariffs and sales tax. The amount is set by your government, not by us, and it is separate from the shipping fee. Here is what to expect for your destination.
| Destination | What you pay on delivery |
| United States | Nothing. All duties and tariffs included. |
| Canada | Duty and GST/HST, collected by the carrier |
| European Union | Import VAT and carrier handling fee |
| United Kingdom | Import VAT and carrier handling fee |
| Australia | GST, collected by the carrier |
| New Zealand | GST, collected by the carrier |
| Everywhere else | Local duty and tax, collected by the carrier |
United States, in detail
Our minimum order value is $50, and every US order ships Delivered Duty Paid. There is no order small enough to fall outside it.
This matters more than it used to. The United States withdrew its $800 duty-free allowance in August 2025 and made the withdrawal permanent in June 2026, so every parcel entering the country is now assessed, however small. Tariffs applied to country of origin and product category have also changed repeatedly across 2025 and 2026, and the rate depends on how each item is classified, so ceramics, tea, textiles and cutlery are not treated alike. None of that reaches you. We absorb whatever applies and the checkout total stands. We do not publish a rate here because it would be out of date within weeks, but if you want the commodity codes we declare so you can check for yourself, just ask.
Canada
Orders are shipped Delivered Duty Unpaid. Goods arriving from Japan above CAD 20 may attract duty and GST or HST. These charges are set by the Canada Border Services Agency and collected by the carrier before delivery, which usually adds a handling fee of its own. Details are on the CBSA website.
European Union
Orders are shipped Delivered Duty Unpaid. Import VAT, and customs duty where it applies, are collected by the carrier or your postal service before the parcel is released, together with a handling fee charged by the carrier for making the declaration on your behalf.
Two points worth knowing. Import VAT applies to every parcel entering the EU, with no minimum value, at your national rate. And the EU is withdrawing its €150 duty-free allowance during 2026, with a flat customs charge applying to low-value parcels from 1 July 2026. Rates and current rules are published by your national customs authority.
United Kingdom
Orders are shipped Delivered Duty Unpaid. Import VAT, and customs duty on consignments above £135, are collected by the carrier before delivery, along with its handling fee. Current thresholds and rates are published by HM Revenue & Customs.
Australia
Orders are shipped Delivered Duty Unpaid. Australian customs treat consignments below AUD 1,000 as low value imports. GST generally applies to these goods, while customs duty is normally reserved for consignments above that threshold. Current rules are published by the Australian Border Force.
New Zealand
Orders are shipped Delivered Duty Unpaid. New Zealand applies GST to imported goods, and consignments above NZD 1,000 may also attract customs duty and a border processing fee. Charges are collected before the parcel is released. Current rules are published by New Zealand Customs.
Everywhere else
Orders are shipped Delivered Duty Unpaid. Any duty or tax due is collected by the carrier or your postal service before the parcel is released. Rates vary by product category, so ceramics, tea, textiles and knives are not treated alike. Your national customs website is the reliable source, and we are happy to send you the commodity codes and declared values we use if you want to check before ordering.
Parcels refused or left unclaimed
Where duties are payable on delivery and the parcel is refused or never collected, it is either returned to Japan or destroyed, depending on the country. Return carriage from most destinations costs more than the outbound leg. If a parcel reaches us again we will refund the goods, but outbound and return shipping cannot be recovered and will be deducted from the refund. Please make sure someone is able to accept the parcel and settle any local charge.
Food, tea and restricted items
Many countries apply additional rules to food, tea and matcha, and some restrict knives. These items may be inspected, held, or in rare cases refused entry, whether or not the tax has been paid. We declare every parcel accurately. We cannot mark an order as a gift or understate its value, as both are customs offences and would put your parcel at risk rather than protect it.
These rules are moving quickly. Import thresholds and tariffs in the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom have all changed or are scheduled to change across 2025 and 2026. This page reflects our policy as of July 2026. If anything here conflicts with what a carrier tells you, write to us and we will sort it out.
