Hand made by Mitsuaki Kuramoto.

Flat cooking spatulas in cherrywood, originally designed by Kuramoto san for culinary professionals in the Tokyo area.  

No. 12- length 360mm, paddle width 108mm

This model highlights thicc handles with contoured edges and a slightly tapered paddle lip, with a stronger edge than other Kuramoto spatulas in our lineup.  Rely on these spatulas for flippin', scrapin', pushin, and paddlin' (pleasure not punishment).  Pro-tip: these are ideal for working with large amounts of rice in wooden hangiri or sushi oke.

If using for rice, soak in water for a few minutes prior to use to avoid sticking. Wash with mild soap under cold water and dry. Never put in a dishwasher.

Mr. Kuramoto and his family have been hand making wooden kitchen tools for over 100 years in Miyajima, a city infamous in Japan to produce the most wooden spatulas in the whole country. He cares most about the feel of the tool in your hand, and takes great care on every product. He uses six different types of sanding tools to get the feel just right. No two pieces are the same, and the more you use them the more they will develop “ajiwai” or “flavor”. The soft smell of wood is a sheer delight to cook with, and no need to fear chemicals leaching out into your food or melting during cooking, or scratching your pots and pans!
