Somewhat nostalgic look A small spoon with beautiful glossy lacquer. The rounded and gentle form gives it a lovely appearance. The smooth surface is pleasant to the touch and feels moist in your hands. The color, which is a mix of red and black, creates an elegant atmosphere. A luxurious lacquer spoon would be useful when entertaining guests. Fun to look at, happy to use Perfect not only for coffee but also as a dessert spoon. Serve it on a plate with a little bit of yokan and you'll feel like you're in a Japanese cafe! It's also great as a spoon for taking condiments. It is difficult to conduct heat, so even if you bring hot or cold food to your mouth, it will not get extremely hot (cold). It has a soft curve and is gentle on the mouth even for children.
