Its reputation is said to preserve the fluffy, soft texture of bread even after it's been purchased. The manufacturer themselves wanted to preserve the deliciousness of fresh bread the next day and the day after, so they experimented with various bread boxes that take advantage of paulownia's moisture-regulating properties. Paulownia wood's excellent moisture-regulating and insect-repellent properties make it ideal for storing bread. Paulownia wood has excellent moisture-regulating properties, maintaining a constant humidity level, and contains compounds (tannin, paulownin, sesamin, etc.) that repel insects. It is effective against both humidity and dryness, allowing you to store food safely even during the stressful rainy season and summer months. When we spoke to Masuda Kiribakoten, they told us that in addition to bread, it is also ideal for storing snacks that get damp easily, such as potato chips and rice crackers, and that storing them in the bread box will help them maintain their delicious texture for longer.
