祝亀 小（古代米黒米）

Bought this as a gift for my mom and the small turtle shape is just perfect for her shelf. You can really see the skill in the tight straw weaving, and it feels sturdy enough to last for years.

The handwoven straw texture is so delicate you can tell every twist was done by someone who really cares, and the small turtle shape fits perfectly on my shelf as a quiet nod to heritage. It arrived carefully wrapped and feels like a little piece of art rather than just decor.

I was pleasantly surprised by how aromatic this black rice is while cooking—the whole kitchen smelled nutty and warm. The smaller size is perfect for my household since we don't go through rice quickly.
