Aluminum Hammered Leaf Slotted Spoon

This aluminum perforated ladle is functional as well as beautiful. Featuring maple leaf-shaped holes, a hammered finish, and a vine-wrapped handle, it transitions seamlessly from kitchen to dining table.

The all-over tsuchime, or embossed metal, is created through numerous hammer strikes for a textured effect. The akebi vines bring a touch of Japan’s nature, while the slightly tapered handle makes it easy to hold. 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.

The versatile holes allow for both scooping and serving, a must for any kitchen. Skim fat, strain noodles, check for doneness of stew ingredients, or serve dishes. 

Available in two sizes, these ladles are a versatile choice for both cooking and serving.
