Customers are mixed about the holes in the bottom of the bowl.

The water drains easily from the holes in the base, and no rice is lost.

I grew up washing rice using the rice pot, but I usually lose a bit of rice every time I pour the water out. I also never get ALL of the water out of the rice when rinsing because I don't want to lose too much rice. However, now, with this Japanese rice colander, I can easily rinse my rice and wash it at the same time. There are two sizes of holes in the colander: the bottom holes are extra small and the upper holes on the draining side are a bit larger. The design of smaller holes on the bottom of the colander is specifically created so that when you run the water into it, some water collects in the bowl with the rice so you can simultaneously wash your rice while the rest of the water drains out through the bottom continuously. The colander also is lifted on the bottom so that the water doesn't flow back into the colander. Before this colander, I had to run water into the rice bowl, wash the rice, pour the rice water out and hope I didn't lose much rice, and then repeat the same process several times.
There are two reasons for rinsing rice, the normal one is to wash off the excess starch and prevent the rice from clumping together after cooking, the second is to rinse off magnesium silicate a sort of fine grinding powder used to polish the rice. Brown rice for instance, is really an intermediate between removing the inedible husk leaving the bran and germ in the brown, to removing them to make white rice. Brown rice is better for you in a lot of ways, but takes longer to cook and should be presoaked. It tastes OK, but not as good as white, there is definitely a chewing difference that tells you you are eating more fiber. Not too many Chinese takeout places have it as an alternative, but one place in Grand Haven, MI did and I switched to not take up so much refined carbs in my diet. Again you have to wash it as well.
If you're conserving water, or this uses up your facet filter too fast I put a large pot underneath and dunked in there a few times while hand agitating the rice. I removed the pot and ran the water direct for the final rinse, this works well if near the final rinse you want to soak for a few minutes (especially if the rice is brown). FYI, a cooks secret I've seen online a number of times if doing short grain sushi rice is to put the post washed rice in the rice cooker and add a drop of sushi vinegar, and a half sheet of nori, (toasted seaweed) before closing the lid. This helps get the right cook and texture on the rice, but it does pretty good with a proper rinsing as well.
Recommended, you can't buy a better one for more, there may be automated solutions that restaurants use, but if so they'd be a lot more expensive, for price and function this cannot be beat.
In summary, this Inomata Japanese rice washing bowl works great for its intended purpose and is reasonably priced.
Clean up in warm soapy water is quick and easy. I recommend hand drying immediately after washing if you have hard water. If you have soft water, then you could let it drain dry in the rack, but any degree of hardness in your water will leave deposits on anything, including this bowl, so I encourage you to hand dry it after washing. Takes only a few seconds and is worth it. Then, if you wish, you can hang it on a wall. I store mine in a cupboard with my other colanders and mixing bowls.
You can wash your rice in pretty much any bowl you want, but I bought this rice washing bowl in order to spare my new, expensive rice cooker's bowl scratches in its teflon surface.
A word of wisdom: If you take the time to take good care of your things, then they will last you much longer, and you will get the most out of the money you spent for them.

Crecí lavando arroz usando la olla arrocera, pero normalmente pierdo un poco de arroz cada vez que vierto el agua. Además, nunca saco TODA el agua del arroz cuando lo enjuago porque no quiero perder demasiado arroz. Sin embargo, ahora, con este colador de arroz japonés, puedo enjuagar y lavar el arroz fácilmente al mismo tiempo. Hay dos tamaños de orificios en el colador: los orificios inferiores son extra pequeños y los orificios superiores en el lado de drenaje son un poco más grandes. El diseño de orificios más pequeños en el fondo del colador está creado específicamente para que cuando dejes pasar el agua, un poco de agua se acumule en el recipiente con el arroz para que puedas lavar el arroz simultáneamente mientras el resto del agua se escurre por el colador. fondo continuamente. El colador también se levanta por la parte inferior para que el agua no regrese al colador. Antes de este colador, tenía que dejar correr agua en el tazón de arroz, lavar el arroz, verter el agua del arroz y esperar no perder mucho arroz, y luego repetir el mismo proceso varias veces.
