A Japanese stainless steel container with multiple removable compartments, used in professional kitchens and homes for organizing small ingredients like herbs, spices, condiments (ginger, scallions, wasabi), and prepped items (mise en place) for quick access during cooking or serving. They’re durable, hygienic, easy to clean, and can often sit in an ice or hot water bath to maintain ingredient temperature, making them ideal for sushi bars, restaurants, and efficient home cooking.
