These spatulas are total winners. The thoughtful design allows for efficient ingredient manipulation from different angles and for different needs, and the handles feel really good in the hand.

I love the cherry wood manufacture. It looks amazing, and the material is hearty and quintessentially Japanese. Wood is just a far better material than plastic for a number of reasons, including better anti-bacterial properties, and I always prefer wooden spoons and spatulas over synthetic materials.

Plus, the fact that these are handmade and not cheaply made, mass produced products just lends to their appeal. These are a must in my opinion for any kitchen stocked with Japanese cooking implements. I bought three of them and am pleased that I did.
