I subscribed to this forum hoping someone could please help me. I am looking for a product that I was told by a friend was a Japanese product. I am looking for a rice container. It is stainless steel (I think) and you store large amounts of rice in it. It has a small dispenser at the bottom, which you can turn to adjust how much rice you want dispensed. You have control over how much is dispensed and is not a pre-defined amount. This is NOT a typrical rice dispenser that is readily available for sale. I wanted to know if anyone knows what I am talking about and can tell me what it is called exactly and any merchant that sells it. I would prefer an online merchant, but any merchant will do. I am trying to buy one for my mother. We are Indian and eat a lot of rice as well and this would be a perfect container for her to store the rice in. Any response would be appreciated. Thanks.
