Why Choose the Yamaco Steamer Messtin 2 Tier Natural?

A Harmonious Blend of Tradition and Simplicity
Crafted in Japan, the Yamaco Steamer Messtin represents the country’s deep-rooted appreciation for natural cooking methods and elegant design. It revives the nostalgic art of steaming meals over a stove or fire, all while offering the practicality and structure suited for modern kitchens or campfire setups.

It’s a piece that blends culture, function, and form—offering a healthy, oil-free cooking method that locks in flavor, texture, and nutrition.

High-Quality Hinoki Cypress Construction

Crafted from Authentic Japanese Hinoki Wood
The standout feature of this messtin is its build—authentic Japanese Hinoki cypress, a wood traditionally used in bathhouses and temples for its water resistance, lightness, and natural antibacterial properties. It lends a faint woody aroma to steamed food, enhancing the overall dining experience.

The natural material also ensures excellent heat retention and gentle steaming, resulting in dishes that are moist, tender, and nutrient-rich.

Double-Tier Steamer for Efficient Meal Prep

Cook Two Dishes at Once, Naturally
The dual-layer design allows users to cook multiple items simultaneously. Whether it’s rice in the bottom and vegetables in the top, or dumplings paired with steamed fish, this setup saves time without compromising quality.

Each tier stacks seamlessly, creating a tight fit that circulates steam efficiently throughout the chamber.

Compact Yet Functional Size

Perfectly Sized for Everyday or Outdoor Use
Measuring 15.8cm in length, 10.5cm in width, and 15.4cm in height, the Yamaco 2 Tier Messtin is compact enough to store easily, yet large enough to prepare full meals for one or two people.

Its portable nature makes it an excellent choice for camping, hiking, or even minimalist kitchen setups in small apartments or dorms.

Easy to Use on Various Heat Sources

Compatible with Stove, Grill, and Campfire
This messtin is designed for flexibility—it works perfectly over gas stoves, charcoal grills, or even directly over a flame in outdoor settings. Simply fill the bottom with water, stack the tiers, and let the steam do the work.

Its wooden build is designed to withstand gentle, controlled heat. A stainless-steel tray or pot is often used underneath to protect and collect steam during cooking.

Minimalist Aesthetic with Rustic Charm

Natural Grain Finish and Seamless Craftsmanship
The untreated, natural wood showcases beautiful Hinoki grain patterns, giving each messtin a unique look. The handcrafted appearance adds warmth and authenticity to any kitchen, making it both a functional tool and a charming centerpiece.

Its minimalist shape and natural color palette also align with Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetics—celebrating simplicity, imperfection, and nature.

Cooking Versatility in a Traditional Form

Not Just for Rice—Explore a Range of Dishes
While many use messtins primarily for rice, the Yamaco 2 Tier version invites culinary creativity. You can steam dumplings, vegetables, meat, tofu, buns, fish, or even eggs.

The gentle steaming process retains vitamins and minerals, making it ideal for health-conscious eaters. Each meal emerges light, flavorful, and free from unnecessary oils or additives.

Easy Maintenance and Long-Term Durability

Simple to Clean, Built to Last
After use, simply rinse the messtin with warm water and wipe it dry with a cloth. Avoid using dish soap or soaking the wood to preserve its natural properties.

With proper care, this steamer can last for years—aging gracefully and deepening in character over time.

Ideal for Home Cooks, Minimalists, and Nature Lovers

A Gift of Practicality and Mindfulness
Whether you’re a health-focused home cook, a minimalist who appreciates functional beauty, or a camper seeking better outdoor meals, this messtin makes an excellent addition to your culinary arsenal.

It also makes a thoughtful gift for those interested in Japanese cooking or sustainable living—an invitation to slow down, eat well, and cook with care.
