{"product_id":"rice-stocker","title":"Storage Rice Dispenser","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is an exquisite rice stocker and dispenser made of American Paulownia wood that has been sun-dried at the Japanese manufacturer's premises for a year. The Paulownia wood is also fire resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo dispense one cup of rice, simply pull out and then push back the lever (the upper handle you see in the picture).
