This aluminum serving spoon, featuring a hammered finish and vine-wrapped handle, is functional as well as beautiful. The tsuchime, or hammered metal pattern, brings a touch of warm elegance, while the akebi vines wrapping the handle bring a touch of Japan’s nature into the kitchen. The all-over embossed metal is created through numerous hammer strikes for a textured effect. The vines that wrap the handle are a traditional material that offers a no-slip, comfortable grip. Each vine-wrapped handle is carefully crafted—soaked in water and tightly bound by hand—resulting in a refined texture that ages beautifully over time. Available in two sizes, these serving spoons are a versatile choice for both cooking and serving, seamlessly transitioning from kitchen to dining table. The smaller size could even make a good ramen spoon.
