Product Overview

The KK-697 is a square onigiri mold with a separate pressing lid and a push-release base. The translucent polypropylene pieces have textured inner surfaces and a defined square outline for shaping a single rice portion.

The mold has a 3-inch-square footprint. It forms a rice portion approximately 6.5 cm square and 3 cm thick, with about 100 g as a reference portion weight rather than a fixed result. The mold and lid are made in Japan and supplied together.

Shape the rice with the matching lid

Fill the square mold with rice and press it with the matching lid. The container sets the outline while the lid presses the surface, allowing the square form to remain distinct from triangular onigiri molds.

Allow for the finished portion rather than the package

The finished rice is approximately 6.5 cm square and 3 cm thick; the amount varies with the filling and how firmly it is packed. Leave room beside the preparation area for nori and a serving dish so the shaped portion has a clear next step.
