The bottom of the tub had to be sanded to remove some tiny shavings still hanging on and potential splinters. This appears to be a quality control or manufacturing issue, as the side is smooth & safe for use without further work. I probably would try a different product, armed with this knowledge. But for those saddled with the same problem, a few minutes with 400-grit sandpaper ought to do the trick. I haven't tried other sushi oke at a similar price range, so I do not know whether this is just a common problem.
The tub is made of pine, which is a softer material than cypress, the top material for a sushi oke. Cypress would certainly cost substantially more. This tub is made in China, though the label is in Japanese & the company seems to be based in Japan. The bands on the side made from plastic rather than metal, and they are decorative rather than functional. They come in several pieces that have been glued on to the side (rather than one single piece to reinforce the tub). The label advertises that all components are made from all-natural materials.
The size is suitable for 3-4 cups of rice. More than this and it starts to get crowded. The included sushi roller & spatula are useful only for people who don't already have them. The quality of these items is lower than the average stuff you get from Asian groceries.because it works awesome I use it more every day to make sushi !! make sushi for every one day
