There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Amazon came to the rescue again after searches through the retail stores failed me. I got this Japanese rice container for about 27 dollars when equivalent containers storage wise would have cost me far more. I decided to order one and see how it performed as it seemed to have good reviews.
I was pleased with the order when I received it and tested it out. The container itself is made of sturdy plastic, and the lid has two clasps on the side that snap into the lip at the top of the container to secure the it in place. The nice thing about the design is that you can easily carry the container the way that the lip is designed from place to place. I was concerned that this would be something difficult to move out of my pantry to the counter, but the way that it is designed, it is no problem at all to carry.
The container also comes with a small measuring cup and plastic container that can sit at the top of the container when closed. I believe that this smaller container was designed so that you could pour the remaining rice into it before refilling the container with another bag of rice. This was a nice little extra touch that I wasn't expecting, but shows good thinking.
As for performance, the container works as I expect it to. It says that it is rated for a 22 pound (10kg) bag of rice. Rice is sold in 20 and 25 pound bags where I am. The 20 pound bag fit easily, the 25 pound bag was a much tighter fit, but with some tapping the container against the ground to "settle" the rice a bit, I was able to get it into the container as well. I'd say that the 22 pound rating is pretty conservative, but 25 pounds will be a tight fit.
The container itself does not appear to be perfectly air tight, but I have had no problem with bugs. If you are concerned, put some baking soda or diatomaceous earth around the container on the floor and you shouldn't have any trouble at all.
Bottom line is that this container exceeded my expectations and was a perfect solution to my rice storage problem. I've considered ordering additional containers to store other things as well.
Highest Recommendation
This nicely made Japanese container is excellent and I thought the price ($22 when I purchased mine) is not really out of line when compared to other similar options.
Some other reviewers have downrated this container because they claim it is not airtight. I would like to address that concern.
Will this container hold a vacuum? No it wouldn't so technically I guess it does not have an airtight seal.
One reviewer claimed that this was not airtight because they could stick their pinky finger around the back of the lid. Another reviewer claimed that there is a gap at the hinge of the lid.
Both claims are rather misleading. The container has a "folded lip" molded top. What that means is that the top of the container does fold over around the edges. That "lip" allows one to be able to have a place to grip the container to lift/carry it and certainly makes doing so when filled with 25 pounds of rice much easier.
However, the lid and the top are molded such that the lid seals flat against the top and around that lip. I took a piece of paper and placed it in various places around the top of the container and then closed the lid.Tugging gently on that paper I was able to gently/carefully pull that piece of paper out of the container. Airtight? No, but the lid fits snugly and evenly enough all around that I think it would be the rare bug that would be able to work its way into the container.
Another reviewer felt that the hinge allowed a gap opening into the container. If you just look at the lid from the top it does appear that there is a gap between the two pieces. However, the lid and the hinge are molded such that when closed the part of the lid that flips open seals tightly around all four sides when closed.
So again... airtight? No. The lid, the hinge and the container are molded so nicely/precisely that there is essentially nowhere most critters would be able to get into the container. Or out of, since if one finds bugs in their rice it was most likely due to eggs that were already in the bagged rice when it was purchased. Bon appetit!
The first one I received was broken in shipping. I simply called the company and they immediately sent me a new one. Done.
It was a miracle I found it when searching for a dog food storage container. None of the produces named as such would fit easily under the shelf in my pantry. How ever I found it, I'm so glad I did.
