This is a charmingly small fork, knife, and spoon set, each measuring 11.5 cm (4.53″), available in two colors: Natural and Red.
Compared to materials such as metal, bamboo is remarkably light, yet it also offers strength and durability. It has a gentle warmth to the touch, and its sturdy construction is part of the appeal of bamboo cutlery.This is the handle. In each piece, the width gently narrows from the end of the handle toward the tip.The handle measures about 0.5 cm (0.20″) at its thickest point.The surface of the handle is finished flat,while the underside is shaped like a roof, forming a gentle triangular profile.This subtle detail contributes to its ease of use when held in the hand.Using specialized tools and machinery, and through repeated olishing, each piece is finished to a remarkably smooth surface.Here, the bowl of the spoon is viewed from the handle side. In the Natural finish, the characteristic grain of bamboo can be seen. In the Red finish as well, a soft matte beauty quietly unfolds.
According to the maker, this series began with the idea of creating a compact size that could be comfortably used at breakfast, among the various cutlery pieces they produce.
Of course, the name of this cutlery does not define how it must be used, and we are told that it is meant to be enjoyed freely, in whatever way feels right.
We will introduce each piece in order, beginning with the fork. This one is the Natural finish.This one is the fork in the Red finish. The form is the same as the Natural version. An additional coloring process is added in its making. The vivid red, which gently stimulates the appetite, can be enjoyed regardless of gender or nationality.The fork’s tines spread generously from the handle, allowing it to pierce foods with some surface area and also to scoop up items such as salad.Next is the knife in the Natural finish. It can be used as a butter knife or a jam knife.This is the knife in the Red finish. When using berry jams and similar spreads, the transfer of color may be less noticeable on this one.Although it is called a knife, the edge is not sharp, so you may use it with peace of mind. In addition to spreading, it can also cut soft foods such as pancakes.This is the spoon in the Natural finish. It is well suited for enjoying yogurt or jelly.This is the spoon in the Red finish. It seems likely to add a gentle accent to colorful desserts as well.With a well-proportioned bowl in relation to its overall length, it is also well suited for adults enjoying dessert.
As a final step, both colors are finished with a polyurethane coating that complies with the Food Sanitation Act. This finishing process smooths the surface and helps prevent water and oil from penetrating into the bamboo, thereby enhancing the durability of the product.
At the same time, this coating makes it less likely for the color of rich sauces to transfer to the spoon. Compared to an uncoated, truly natural piece, it can retain its original appearance for a much longer time.
However, if the surface is bitten or scratched with a sharp object, the coating may wear off more quickly. From there, water can penetrate the bamboo, which may lead to darkening or mold, so please handle it with care.
For the same reason, we do not recommend using a dishwasher, as it may accelerate wear. When washing, we suggest using a soft sponge and a mild detergent.
Although the coating will gradually wear over time with use, if handled gently, it can be enjoyed for many years.
It is available in two colors: Natural and Red. The Natural finish clearly reveals the inherent grain and character of the bamboo, while the Red offers a distinct tone that brings a different expression from ordinary bamboo cutlery. In terms of color transfer, marks may be less noticeable on the Red than on the Natural finish.
You might enjoy choosing the color according to the atmosphere of your tableware, the season, your mood at the time, or what you are eating.
It is well suited to a morning set, of course, but it can also serve as cutlery for children, or accompany a pleasant snack time for adults.
Please choose the type and color that feel right to you.
— Two Generations of Cutlery Making in Oita Prefecture —
In Oita Prefecture, there is a craftsperson who has continued making cutlery since their parents’ generation.
Although they did not originally intend to take over the family craft, they chose to inherit it and reconsider cutlery making from their own perspective. Today, they continue to create a wide range of pieces, producing them day by day.
While the previous generation worked exclusively with bamboo, the current maker sought to expand the range of forms. They undertook further training in wooden cutlery making, allowing them to create items that are difficult to achieve with bamboo alone, such as ladles and spoons with generous depth, as well as plates.
With the belief that “cutlery is something for everyday use,” usability is always placed first. At the same time, the finished pieces naturally carry pleasing tones and a sense of design that delights the eye.
Through uncompromising polishing by skilled hands and a carefully applied polyurethane finish, these cutlery pieces offer a smooth, comfortable feel at the mouth and ease of care, making them suitable for users of all ages.
Among the many pieces, we believe you will find one that fits comfortably in your hand and feels just right to use.
Please note: This item ships from Japan. As the buyer, you are responsible for any import duties, customs fees, or local taxes that may be charged in your country. These costs are not included in the item price or shipping cost. Please check with your local customs authority if you are unsure about any potential charges before placing your order.
