JapanBargain 1919, Sushi Making Kit Hangiri Rice Mixing Bowl Bamboo Rolling Mat and Rice Paddle Set

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.

Only complaint I have is the spatulas are junk because they are too small to use. Luckily, I have a larger one that came with my rice cooker. Everything else worked fine when making sushi rolls.

I enjoy this set. I love making my sushi rolls etc. Great gift.

I have been making sushi since a year, but had no sushi-making set. So my life was pretty hard when I was rolling the sushi, or it took too long to get the rice cool. I got this one because it is cheap. I can easily tell that the quality of the item is lower than what you can find in Asian stores near your place probably as I tested and compared with the ones that my friends have. However, the set works great and it does what it is supposed. So i do not think that lower quality is a great disadvantage in this product's case. So I would buy it again.

Came with only 1 rolling mat. Otherwise, it does the job. Size is adequate for a small party (1-4 people).

Good quality. Its good enough to place 4 cups of sushi rice.

Fast shipping, good bowl but mats ans spoons too small.

My son loved it and has learned how to make sushi quite well, using this.

no es bambu el anillo de ramen se deforma pero hace su trabajo bien

お祝いの時はかなり重宝しています。あったかご飯に混ぜるだけ～♪の時も桶にトッピングするとかなり豪華な感じでいいですよ。

家庭に１つあれば便利です。みんなでワイワイガヤガヤ・・・手巻き寿司パーティ！

うちは４人家族でちょうどいい感じの大きさです。周りの茶色っぽい枠は金具でできてるのかと思いきやプラスチックでしたが、このお値段なので許せます。

手巻き寿司に重宝しています！サイズもちょうどいいですし、質感も安っぽくなく使い勝手もいいです！
