Make Kyoto-style battera pressed sushi (oshizushi) at home with this classic 3-piece press. Handmade from traditional Japanese joinery of hinoki, which has natural anti-microbial properties and imparts a beautiful cedar fragrance to the rice. Rinse with water before using to keep rice from sticking and make cleanup easier. History and instructions for using the battera can be found in our journal.
