COBITSU

まるで炊き立てみたいに
ご飯を冷解凍できる「枡のおひつ」

“Masu no Ohitsu”, which can defrost rice
as if it were freshly cooked

COBITSU(こびつ)は、炊きたてのように美味しく冷凍ご飯をいただける枡のおひつです。仕事に、家事に、育児に、勉強に。毎日頑張ってるから忙しく、いつもご飯を炊く余裕がない人も多いかもしれません。そんな時のご飯に、COBITSUを電子レンジで温めてそのまま食卓に出してください。ほっと心が落ち着くほの桧(ひのき)の香り。手に取ってみると感じる木の温もりや手ざわりの心地よさ。疲れた心をそっと癒してくれるCOBITSUが、いつもの暮らしに幸せと喜びの贅沢なひとときを贈ります。

木曽桧をはじめとする近隣の豊かな森林資源に恵まれた岐阜県大垣市は、木枡の全国生産量の8割を占めています。COBITSUを製造する大橋量器では1300年続く枡の歴史と伝統を守りながら、革新的な枡製作にも力を入れ、世界的なデザイナーとのコラボレーションなど、海外からも注目を浴びています。その確かな技巧が、COBITSUの美しい質感と、冷凍と電子レンジ加熱の繰り返しという厳しい環境への耐性を実現しています。

日本で昔から愛用されてきた木製のおひつのご飯が冷めても美味しい秘密は、木が持つ調湿性。木製のおひつは炊きたてのご飯から出た余分な蒸気を吸収するとともに、時間が経ったら水分を放出するので、ご飯がベタつかず、なおかつパサつかないちょうどよいおいしさを保つことができます。COBITSUでは良質な国産桧(ひのき)を使うことで、優れたおひつのような調湿性を実現しました。

蒸し器で温めた冷ご飯は、逃げた水分が蒸気の力で程よく戻ることでふっくら・つやつや、炊きたてのように電子レンジで温めると、吸収していた水分が蒸気となって放出・充満することで、中のご飯をまんべんなく温めます。同時に、余分な熱と蒸気が本体とふたの間の隙間から適度に逃げ出すことで、蒸し器のように温めることができます。

COBITSU is a Masu rice container that serves frozen rice as delicious as freshly cooked rice. Many people are so busy with work, housework, childcare, and study that they may not always have time to cook rice. Many people are so busy working hard every day that they may not have time to cook rice all the time. For such a time, warm COBITSU in a microwave oven and serve it directly on the dining table. The aroma of hinoki (Japanese cypress) is relaxing and calming. The warmth of the wood and the comfort of the touch in your hand. COBITSU gently soothes your tired mind and brings you a luxurious moment of happiness and joy in your daily life.

Ogaki City in Gifu Prefecture, which is blessed with rich forest resources including Kiso cypress, accounts for 80% of the nation’s production of wooden Masu, and while preserving the 1,300-year history and tradition of Masu, Ohashi Ryoki, the manufacturer of COBITSU, also focuses on innovative Masu production, collaborating with world-class designers. The company is also attracting attention from overseas. The COBITSU’s beautiful texture and resistance to the harsh environment of repeated freezing and microwave heating are the result of their proven craftsmanship.

The secret to the delicious taste of rice served in wooden Ohitsu, which have been used in Japan for centuries, is the wood’s ability to regulate humidity, which makes the rice tasty even after it has cooled. COBITSU uses high-quality Japanese hinoki cypress to achieve the same excellent moisture control as a wooden hitsu. COBITSU is made of high quality Japanese cypress.

When cold rice is heated in a steamer, the moisture that has escaped is restored by the power of steam, making it fluffy and glossy, just like freshly cooked rice. At the same time, excess heat and steam can escape through the gap between the body and the lid, making it warm up like a steamer.
