This unique washing bowl is the perfect hybrid between a regular strainer and a bowl as it was specifically designed for the purpose of washing Japanese rice. Japanese rice can be particularly time consuming to prepare as you need to wash the rice with your hand in a bowl or pot, giving it a good swirl around before rinsing it out. And you actually have to do this repeatedly until the water is clear so unless you have loads of free time you may not be able to do it well and end up with less than desirable results. However, this washing bowl enables you to swiftly prepare your rice up to Japanese standards with considerable ease. The tricky part of carefully pouring out the water without pouring out your rice is no longer necessary as the water will drain from the bottom a bit slower than a regular strainer, allowing the water and your hand to effectively clean the rice before it goes completely through. Yet this all happens still fast enough for you to save a lot of time compared to washing rice the traditional way with a bowl or pot where you would have to slowly drain the water out over and over. Notably, this difficulty of draining the water from the rice with a regular pot or bowl often results in an undesirable smell so just follow the trends of the modern Japanese kitchen and add this one to your kitchen. Though designed for Japanese rice, you will also find this washing bowl to be quite useful for draining other foods such as fruits and vegetables as well.
