Actually I bought this product as a gift for a friend who loves onigiri. She has a plastic maker so she was thrilled to receive the wooden Bento onigiri maker. She was delighted that it was actually from Japan! The ordering was easy and I was surprised at how quickly it arrived from Japan.

I love the handcrafted look, and it smells good!
Works great and makes it super easy to make onigiri
works great smells great looks great :3
It’s a really beautiful onigiri mould and I’m looking forward to using it
I’m giving this to my husband for Christmas and I think he’ll love it!
Thanks!
My first viit to Japan (Hokkaido)
I love love love this wooden one.
So impressed! This was a great find. Really easy to handle as long as you use water to keep the rice from sticking. It’s got me very excited to make lunches for friends and I’ll probably end up buying more before too long just so I can make a bunch more quickly.
Well constructed and shipped quickly. Thank you!
It's a little smaller than expected, but it turned out to give me perfectly travel/packing sized onigiri. The hinoki is an extra bonus!
These molds are must have if you are a fan of onigiri. I have been forming rice balls by hand for years, but I missed the triangular shape that I came across so frequently when I was living in Japan. The wood is exceptionally fragrant, and the quality of the item is top notch. After only a couple of tries to get the hand of rice to filling proportions, I was making great onigiri with tuna salad, curry vegetables, and umeboshi.
I love wooden molds generally and this one makes the perfect onigiri! I am very pleased!
Easy to clean and not difficult to use
The onigiri mould was so easy to use and I loved that it came from Japan directly. My family has been feasting for days!
An amazing product. The wonderful smell and how light it feels in hand is something to behold. This item is for anyone that likes to make home made meals, is a mandatory item.
Best mold for onigiri! This is the best mold I have used to make onigiri. After using this for three years, the cypress smell is starting to fade. Should I apply cypress oil to this wooden mold to fresh the the scent?
Great service n products will order again! Arigto
meh nice wood, small onigiri
Onigiri mold - hinoki wood Beautiful onigiri mold, although I needed to smooth the insides of the mold with fine sand paper to get a better finish- not a big deal, though. Love the mold. Great service from Bento & CO, too.
excellent quality Very well made,I prefer a natural wood product as I tend to avoid plastic products.A very nice traditional way to create Onigiri, Thank you Bento&co! a pleasure to do business with you.
Perfect! Very easy to use and care for. Makes lovely size onigiri. Added bonus of antibacterial properties in the rice from the wood which has a gorgeous fragrance. Recommend this product to anyone!
Great Onigiri! I had bought this in November of 2012. I was worried it might stick, so I bought the plastic molds at the same time, but I shouldn't have worried. The onigiri came out easily; it must have something to do with the absorption properties of that amazing smelling wood! Also, the plastic molds are a little bit on the larger side - these fit better in my onigiri containers.
