Just what I was looking for. I had searched every specialty kitchen supply store and every Asian food store in my area and none of them carried any item like this.

I'd had to use a metal bowl before I found this which sushi recipes tell you strictly not to use. There was a noticeable improvement in my sushi rice while using this product.

I also liked how the base of the bowl pops out for easy cleaning.

My only complaint was that the base of the bowl did bow upon my first usage. I had to set a fairly heavy pot on it after cleaning in order to flatten it out.

Other than that I had no complaints. The company that shipped it got it to me very quickly. It worked well and overall was well worth the purchase.

It has worked well both times I've cooked sushi rice but the copper rings around the bowl easily fall off. I may end up having to use a staple gun or something to hold them on because no matter how tightly I pull them back on, they still slip off.

the rice though turned out very good. Much better than if using plastic or glass bowl!

I have been using this tub for sushi approximately 2x/ week, and it is working well. The copper hoop has been tacked down with with brads, so no problem with falling off. I have soaked the tub for about 30 min prior to use and at this time have not noticed any warping. I am not sure what type of wood was used, but it does absorb moisture well from the hot sushi rice. The size is perfect for home use - very suitable for the four portions of rice I usually make.
When I first received the tub I noticed what appeared to be smears of glue on the inside of the tub, but these washed off easily after I soaked the tub for the first time.
I haven't found another tub on the internet for such a good price, and the product is very serviceable. All in all I am quite happy with it and would recommend it to someone who loves sushi but doesn't want to spend too much for the equipment.
