This page introduces 4 of the larger of the 9 sizes of round tray colanders produced on Sado Island.
Madake bamboo and Hachiku bamboo, which are harvested on Sado Island and can be easily processed into colanders, are used for these plate colanders.Turn it over and you can see the weaving of bamboo outer skin.This is a simple weaving technique with a close weaving.On Sado Island, the traditional division of labor system still functions, with some people doing only this weaving work.And the rim wrapping is often done by another person. The rim is woven with rattan using stainless steel wire as the core. The wire is coated with a rust-proof coating and does not rust easily.Wrap tightly with rattan with few gaps.Occasionally, you may see blackened, burnt marks like this. These marks are caused by the use of fire (burner, etc.) when finishing splinters. Please note that this is not a defect.Also, as shown here, the strips may show some cracking where the vertical and horizontal strips intersect, but this is not a problem. This is not a defective product either.
“Maru-Bon” series are available in diameters from 22cm (8.66″) up to 45cm (17.72″) in diameter with a difference of about 3cm (1.18″).
This large size series can serve several people with one piece, such as noodles. It is also large enough to be used as a colander for drying vegetables.
Four sizes are introduced, starting with a diameter of 36cm (14.17″) and ending with a diameter of 45cm (17.72″).
We will start with a 36cm (14.17″) diameter.Although the following is only a guide, it is a good size for drying about 1 kg of plums.This is 39cm (15.35″) in diameter.When drying plums, this is a good size for drying 1 to 1.5 kg of plums.This is 42cm (16.54″) in diameter.When drying dried plums, a suitable size is about 1.5 to 2 kg or less.This is 45cm (17.72″) in diameter. This is the maximum size.When drying plums, it is a perfect size for drying about 2 kg of plums.
Simple yet sturdy, it is the standard for flat colanders. Also, as a drying colander, the flat construction prevents it from rolling and allows full exposure to sunlight.
This is a 36cm (14.17″) size with 1kg of plums on top, which are being dried.The flat colander allows plums to be placed all the way to the edge of the colander with very little rolling.This is a 39cm (15.35″) size with 2kg of green plums on it.This is a 42cm (16.54″) size with about 2kg of green plums on it.This is a 45cm (17.71″) size with 2kg of green plums on it. Approximately 2-2.5kg can be placed in this size.The same Nīgata “Kaku-Bon”(Rectangle) series is also available, but compared to the same size, this “Maru-Bon” (Round) can hold more volume.When drying plums, it is better to use several separate plates, because if the plums are arranged tightly on a single plate, it is difficult for air to pass through the plums and the increased weight puts a load on the plate.In addition to plums, they are also useful for drying vegetables such as tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots and radishes.
When used in a large group, it can also be used as a tray for noodles such as soba, Sōmen, udon and dipping noodles, or as a tray for sweets and bread, which will complement the ingredients. It also makes a good standby tray for hot pots.
It is also recommended to serve fried or tempura dishes on a sheet of kitchen paper or wax paper. If oil gets on the surface, use a mild detergent after use, scrub with a scrubbing brush, rinse well with water, and dry in a well-ventilated place.
Large size with sturdy construction. This “Maru-Bon” is convenient to use for drying and draining. Please choose the size you prefer.
—Bamboo Crafts, Born and Departing from Sado Island—
According to records, Sado Island in Nīgata Prefecture has been shipping bamboo products off the island for more than 200 years. Bamboo products were actively made on the island because of the high quality of bamboo suitable for bamboo crafts.
In the old days, many bamboo products were carried on ships that sailed between Ōsaka and Hokkaidō on the Sea of Japan route.
Since thick bamboo does not grow in Hokkaidō, many of the bamboo colanders and baskets were made on Sado Island, the ship’s port of call.
The bamboo products made on that Sado Island are characterized by their simple design and durability. Many of them are for daily use, as if they were used in every Japanese household.
