Japanese traditional wooden tea scoop for green tea loose leaf made of "Kabazaiku", a traditional craft in Kakunodate, Akita Prefecture, using natural cherry bark. Craftsmen make each piece by hand.
"Kabazaiku" is a craft that Japan is proud of, using the bark of wild cherry trees. Crafts are characterized by the beauty of their materials, but at the same time they are built on the superior properties of the materials.
Made from natural cherry bark, this green tea spoon has a beautiful color and wood grain.
Although the shape is the same, no two pieces have the same grain or color. The more you use it, the deeper color that is unique to wild cherry blossoms will change, and it will maintain its unique luster. It will never rust. Feel safe and secure in the warmth of nature.
The manufacturer, Yatsuyanagi, was founded in Kakunodate, Senboku City, Akita Prefecture in 1899, and has been manufacturing and selling "Kabazaiku" for generations. Using sophisticated techniques down to the millimeter level that have been passed down from generation to generation, each piece of "Kabazaiku" is made with care and is safe, secure, easy to use, and beautiful.
