Kureha's iremo Round Rice Storage Container is a container for storing frozen rice from the iremo household-products brand, launched in March 2026. Its key feature is that it can be heated in a microwave with the lid on. The product uses a steam-venting channel and a raised base to help reduce uneven heating. The lid and container rims have no grooves, making them less likely to collect water and dirt, and the container is dishwasher-safe. It comes in 2 sizes, single-serving and small-serving, each available in packs of 3 or 5, as well as an assorted pack of 4 containing 2 of each size.
Reviews of the same series on Amazon include comments such as “heats frozen rice evenly,” “I bought 5 more,” “easier than plastic wrap” and “doesn't turn sticky.” These comments are presented as positive feedback on features such as heating with the lid on and ease of washing.
Suggested use cases include people who freeze and store individual portions, people who want to heat rice in a microwave without opening the lid, and people looking for containers that are easy to wash and can be stacked for storage. The FAQ also provides capacities of approximately 150g for the single-serving size and approximately 100g for the small-serving size, along with heating guidelines such as 1 minute 50 seconds at 600W.
