This is a “twist” tawashi made from shuro palm fibers.
Tawashi brushes made from natural shuro palm have fibers with just the right firmness and flexibility. They can be safely used on delicate items such as glassware, cups, or non-stick pans without scratching them.
When carefully selected, shuro fibers are soft enough to use even for body care, gentle to the touch on the skin.
Their soft texture and resilient bounce are unique to shuro palm.
A tawashi is also an important tool for caring for baskets and colanders. Its bristles easily slip into the weave, sweeping away fine dust and scrubbing out hidden dirt.
Even basket artisans who work with akebi vine or wild grape often say, “Nothing cleans a basket like a tawashi.” We also recommend this brush for basket care.
Whether scrubbing dishes or vegetables, or polishing baskets and colanders, the tawashi has long remained an essential tool in the kitchen and home.
On this page, we introduce this delightful twisted tawashi in three sizes: small, medium, and large.
It is made by tightly twisting a slim tawashi into shape. Resembling a twisted doughnut, it has a playful appearance, yet remains slim overall—easy to hold even for those with smaller hands. It can stand on a rack in the kitchen and stores neatly.Its bristle length, firmness, and density are equivalent to those of a standard tawashi, making it suitable for washing vegetables, glass cups, and even non-stick pans.Beyond its charming appearance, it is thoughtfully designed for practical use. Thanks to its screw-like shape, it works well for washing deeper containers, and the twisted grooves help remove dirt from vegetables such as burdock roots, carrots, and potatoes.A major feature of this twist tawashi is that it has no exposed metal fittings. Ordinary tawashi brushes usually have a metal loop on one side for hanging, which limits which sides can be used. This one, however, can be used on all surfaces, preventing uneven wear and making it last longer.This is the small size. Compact and space-saving, it fits easily in the hand and allows firm scrubbing despite its size. It’s perfect for removing dirt from vegetables or as a first tawashi for beginners.This is the medium size. It’s just the right size for daily kitchen use—ideal for washing bowls, cups, and glasses. The tip is fully covered with shuro fibers, so it can reach into the corners of wooden items such as bento boxes, rice containers, and sushi tubs.This is the large size. Recommended for washing pots, pans, or cutting boards. It’s also perfect for caring for bamboo or akebi baskets, as well as walnut or wild grape bags and handwoven baskets.Although the twist shape has uneven surfaces that might seem unsuitable for washing flat items such as cutting boards, the softness of shuro fibers makes it work surprisingly well. In practice, the entire side of the tawashi can wash cutting boards effectively.The photo shows the large size being used to wash a pot.
The gentle softness of shuro fibers removes dirt while leaving vegetable skins intact. Washing potatoes, carrots, or burdock roots becomes surprisingly enjoyable.
After use in the kitchen, remove any debris caught in the bristles, shake off the water thoroughly, and place it on a draining rack to dry.
When using bamboo colanders in the kitchen, a tawashi is an essential tool. As long as they haven’t been used for oily foods such as fried chicken or tempura, simply scrubbing them with water and a tawashi keeps the woven surface clean. If oil is present, you can use a mild detergent, but in most cases, water and a tawashi alone are sufficient.
When washing bamboo colanders, scrub both sides thoroughly with water and a tawashi. For those who use a tawashi to wash bamboo colanders or baskets, we recommend a larger size to avoid hurting your fingers on splinters, as the larger brush keeps your hands from touching the basket directly.
Using different sizes for different purposes— for example, one for washing dishes, vegetables, or colanders, and another for brushing baskets daily—makes it easy to care for your tools whenever needed.
Please check the sizes and choose your preferred one.
