Koedachan (twig girl) is a nature toy line that has been around since 1978. This is the most recent pic of a Kyaraben (Character Bento) that I made.
Daiso opened in Austin this year but I have yet to go! Animal onigiri makers, vegetable cutters, specialty food picks, sandwich and toast pressers, nori punches, sauce pens, mini shoyu bottles, and more! I collected these from different Japanese stores in the US and Japan. I started collecting tools since my daughter was a preschooler and the whole bento scene exploded around that time. OMG! I have so many! When I lived in Japan in elementary school, my mom bought us cute bento boxes. If you have ever had the delicious meals at Koriente with all of the veggies thinly sliced, know that they are using this wonderful tool to cut many pounds of cucumbers and other veggies! Bento Tools Benriner also made one of the first vegetable spiralizers on the market.
There is a new and improved version that features a non-skid rubber base. The width of your slice is easily adjustable and the blade can be removed to sharpen or replace. If you are looking for a lightweight and easy to clean mandoline, consider this one made by Benriner. I’ll be including many recipes for nabe and other dishes in my cookbook. We have had more of these style meals this year than ever before because we are home together every night. It’s the perfect way to slow down and connect with your family. These beautiful clay pots can be used to make Asian style hot pots at your table. I had a simple one I bought years ago but she gave me hers last year because I wanted to use them more consistently and to take photos of them for my cookbook. When my family lived in Japan, my mom bought these nabe pots. Here’s the latest bread machine from Zojirushi. When the pandemic began we were making bread at least twice a week with this machine and also sourdough in a Dutch oven. This machine can make bread, cakes, dough and jams/jellies. We bought our Vitamix the same year and both are solid! Zojirushi makes some of the best rice cookers and insulated food and beverage containers out there but did you know they also make bread machines? This particular machine is even older than my teenage daughter! It’s the BBCCX20 Home Bakery Supreme! I remember it being quite an investment for us as a young couple but we wanted to make our own bread consistently. Shun also offers lifetime sharpening service when the time comes. I baby this knife and it has its own Japanese cotton cloth that I use to dry it before I put it away. Don’t cut large, hard winter squash with this knife because it’s too refined for that. The only drawback is that it can rust quite quickly and needs to be treated with care. I love the blunt rounded edge and the way it slices so thinly. The blade is also thinner and has beautiful Damascus steel layers. I love it because it’s lighter and fits my small, thin hand better. This is my favorite knife now and I use it whenever I cut vegetables. What do you vegans do with those extra knives meant for meat and fish anyway? I need to give them away! We purchased a Spain-made Henkels knife set 18 years ago but really only used the bread knife, paring knife, and chef knife. I got that knife when I started cooking for clients.
Up until this time, I had been using a nice Henkels Santoku for thin vegetable cuts. In February 2020, I purchased this Shun Nakiri knife with some birthday money I received. This is day 8 of 12 Days with Chef Veggie! Shun Nakiri Knife 6.5in Here are my favorite Japanese tools in my kitchen! I have found that many of my Japanese tools are high quality and I consistently use them because of their craftsmanship and beauty. Do you think fondly of tools in your kitchen? It’s great when you find items of high quality that last for years and make work in the kitchen easier and more beautiful.
