A cooking spatula created with a Miyajima shamoji workshop.

Handling Precautions

  • As natural wood is used, the product's color may change, and stains or burns may occur with use.
  • Odors may transfer if left after use. Briefly dipping in water before use makes odors and stains less likely to occur.
  • As it absorbs water, avoid soaking in water for extended periods.
  • After use, dry thoroughly before storing.
  • If odors are bothersome, wash with water and dry thoroughly in sunlight.
  • Do not use in dishwashers or subject to rapid drying.
  • Due to material characteristics, fuzzing may occur during use depending on the wood grain section. This will gradually settle with use, but if bothersome, you can remove the fuzz by wetting the product and sanding with approximately 200-grit waterproof sandpaper, then finishing with approximately 400-grit waterproof sandpaper.
  • If dryness is a concern, you can maintain it by lightly wiping with plant-based drying oil.

Designed for easy stir-frying and plating

This stir-fry spatula is ideal for fried rice and vegetable dishes. Designed as an everyday kitchen essential, its spoon-like shape makes mixing and scooping effortless, whether you're cooking or transferring food to serving plates. The ergonomic handle has a rounded back and flat front, providing a secure grip that feels comfortable in your hand.

Made from durable Japanese wild cherry wood

The material used is wild cherry tree that grows in the mountainous areas of Hiroshima and Shimane prefectures. Miyajima Crafts Workshop prefers to use high-quality, dense wood that has aged well. It is less likely to shrink over years of use, and the tip of the ladle is less likely to become loose, so it can be used for a long time with little wear even with daily use.
