JapanBargain, Japanese Plastic Kome Bitsu Raw Rice Food Storage Container (11 LBS)

For some reason, rice agrees with me more than bread or potatoes, so I eat rice with my meals--or as a meal with fish or chicken. So I go through a fair amount. I buy it in bags from the Asian grocery. My DOG likes to break into the pantry and create havoc with the rice bag. I have no idea why she does this, but I decided that after the second disaster and also a MOUSE a few years ago, I'd put the rice in a container. It also makes it easier to see what's left and to scoop it out using the rice measure. This box is very nice smooth plastic, food quality and it takes the size rice bag I usually buy--the 5 kilogram bag. I can dump the entire bag into the bin and then scoop it out for meals. There is a top drawer for "old rice." You don't mix the end of a bag in with the new bag--because your new bag might be "new crop rice." New rice has more moisture and takes less water to cook up, so you would not want to mix an old bag in because the rice would cook at different rates. A very nice quality rice measure comes with the bin--with markings on it and it's a more transparent plastic than the typical rice measure you get with your rice cooker. The lid snaps down for secure storage. Although this has a snap lid, I am not sure I'd use this bin for brown rice. The problem with brown rice is that the unpolished rice has more oils in it, and it tends to go rancid. I freeze my brown rice and buy it in small quantities because of the rancidity issue. Cold and dark keep things from going rancid as quickly, but nothing ultimately stops the process from happening.

I love this item. It is essential for anyone who regularly makes rice. Great quality and very convenient to use.

Good quality, we are using it to store rice. Its been 3 years now. Works so well. nothing to complain. It has a small wheel which makes it pulling forward easy. Well taught and designed. Has a little tray inside for the left over last cup of rice, while refilling it with new bag of rice.

I have several of these to store my rice. I love these. I bought yet another big bag of rice and needed another bin. Easy decision. My only nitpick is that it seems this one is a little bit thinner plastic. It appears to have changed since the last one I bought a couple of years ago. Not bad, but not quite as sturdy-feeling. I hope that the manufacturer isn't going with the trend of cutting quality and keeping the price up. I get that costs go up, but I'd rather pay a little more for a quality product. I.e. raise the price a little; don't cut the quality. Not a showstopper right now, but not quite what they used to be. One star off for that, but still a good quality product overall.

I use powdered laundry detergent which always comes in messy boxes. With the large opening on top this is perfect to hold the detergent.

Not sure why there are all of the reviews about rinsing rice in a strainer, though. There is NO STRAINER that comes with this product. This is just so other shoppers are aware. There is also no mention of a strainer included in any of the product details. The product itself seems to be very good. The wheels on the bottom are a nice addition. I wish the length was a little shorter so this would fit in one of my upper cabinets, but this is not a deal breaker for me. The hanging container is a nice extra as well.

Just what I was looking for. Big enough to hold large amounts of rice yet small enough to keep on the counter for easy access. measuring cup and extra container a plus. If you use rice in a lot of your cooking you will definitely need this container, it keeps moisture and bugs out of your rice, and has two small wheels on it so you can pull it out easier. I love it

I specifically bought this to prevent moths going into the rice, but it is not airtight, and I ended up finding both moths and worms in the rice! The size of the container is just right for 15 pound bag of rice, and I like that it is clear plastic, and easily accessible when scooping out rice. To solve the airtight problem, I ended up putting a layer of saran wrap between the lid and container, so every time I need rice, I need to open the lid and peel open the saran wrap, double the work.

Love it. Very big. Good quality. Worth it

前使ってた同じものがぶつけて破損したので買い替えです。大きさも使い勝手も丁度良く、シンク下にも入ります。蓋も大きく開くので詰め替えでこぼすこともないです。

商品自体は大きさも丁度いいし使いやすいです。ただ、届く日が分からず送料が気に掛かり、1度キャンセルの手続きをしました。しかし全くリアクションがなく、お届け予定日より3日くらい早く届きました。

密閉性と持ち運びに便利な大きさでちょうど良いです。付属の半面が平になっている計量カップが使い安くていいですね。

中に入れ替えの時に余ったお米を入れられるトレーが入って居たのは嬉しかったです。 配送も早くて良かったです。 ですが…梱包用のダンバールがもう少し小さいと良かったです。
